Italian police on Wednesday
found the dismembered body of Manuel Careddu, an 18-year-old man
who went missing on Sardinia in early September and for whose
murder five youths including two minors have been arrested.
The body was dismembered and the back of the skull was staved
in, police said.
Careddu, who is believed to have been killed after demanding
payment for some drugs he had supplied the gang, was found in
the countryside outside Ghilarza near Oristano.
The body was found on a piece of land where one of those
arrested, 20-year-old Cristian Fodde, had worked and near where
there are other pieces of land belonging to Fodde's family.
Another two 20-year-olds, Matteo Satta and Riccardo Carta,
were arrested on October 11 along with two 17-year-olds: a girl
from Macomer, the victim's home town, and a boy from Macomer.
The 20-year-olds are all from Ghilarza.
Police have said the five persuaded Creddu to take a ride
with them to a destination where he would be paid, but it was a
one-way journey for him.
He is said to have been owed a few hundred euros.
