Why It Matters
The body of a 35-year-old man was found in the trunk of a car in the Tergola canal in the Padua area.
The 35-year-old Albanian man found dead in the trunk of a car found yesterday morning half covered by the water of the Tergola canal in Torre de Burri, a hamlet of the municipality of San Giorgio delle Pertiche, was killed by a gunshot fired at point blank range.
The man was identified through fingerprints and other clues by the Carabinieri of the Padua investigative unit. The Albanian had his hands tied at the time of the execution. He was shot at close range according to what was found by the medical examiner Rafi El Mazloum who conducted the autopsy examination on the body.
When the man's body ended up in the water the victim had already stopped breathing: there was no sign of water in his lungs. The police are reconstructing the man's movements, with little police history, to trace who he met with on Monday evening. The death should date back to the night between Monday and yesterday. The lead that the investigators are favoring, coordinated by the chief prosecutor Angelantonio Racanelli, is that of a settlement of accounts pending drug dealing.
"We are confident that the Carabinieri will soon solve the case - comments the mayor of San Giorgio delle Pertiche Daniele Canella -. We are not used to events of this kind in our community which has experienced relative tranquility in recent years".
