Italian police officer allegedly killed during confrontation with two American teenagers was stabbed with 'much violence'—with some wounds so deep that the base of the 7-inch blade left marks on his skin, according to autopsy report obtained by ABC News.
An Italian police officer who was allegedly killed during a confrontation with two American teenagers was stabbed with"much violence," some wounds so deep that the base of the 7-inch blade left marks on his skin, according to the autopsy report obtained by ABC News.
Finnegan Lee Elder, 19, and Gabriel Christian Natale-Hjorth, 18, remain jailed in Italy's capital on suspicion of attempted extortion and aggravated murder in connection to the fatal stabbing as well as a botched drug deal. A scuffle ensued and Elder allegedly stabbed Cerciello Rega, while Natale-Hjorth allegedly punched the officer's partner repeatedly, according to police reports that were made public. Elder allegedly used a 7-inch fix-blade combat knife during the four-minute encounter, according to a court document leaked to media outlets and obtained by ABC News.
Italian newspapers later published a leaked photo of what appears to be Natale-Hjorth blindfolded and handcuffed while in custody, prompting questions about the pair's confessions. It is illegal to blindfold a suspect in Italy, and police and prosecutors are carrying out separate investigations into the blindfolding.
Cerciello Rega's stab wounds were compatible with those that would come from the blade seized by police during the investigation, according to the autopsy report. "The autopsy stab wounds don't support an immediate attack," Peters said."There's no stab wounds on the front of Ciercello's body."
