Crime - Italian furnace murderer arrested

After ten days of searching throughout Europe, an Italian man was arrested who had murdered and cremated his uncle in an oven. The 39-year-old was apprehended by the police at his house in Soiano del Garda, in northern Italy, as authorities announced. The exact circumstances were initially unclear. It was later speculated that the businessman had fled to Spain before his final sentencing, possibly even to the Cape Verde Islands.

The Italian was also found guilty by the Cassation Court in Rome on July 1st. Previously, two other courts had rendered judgments that he had murdered his uncle in an upper Italian commune in the family-owned foundry in October 2015. The 50-year-old businessman had arranged for dinner with his wife just a few minutes before his disappearance. Since then, there has been no trace of him.

Despite the two previous judgments, the 39-year-old, who consistently maintained his innocence, remained at large. When the police attempted to apprehend him at his house on the Garda Lake, he had disappeared, along with his girlfriend and son. He has been sought with an international arrest warrant since then. His girlfriend and son returned to Italy from France by train on a Friday - without him. The wife claimed to have lost her memory.
