Is this the real murder weapon? Are the police simply picking on the two kids, as they did Amanda Knox (her supporters claim) and did they really confess or were they 'interrogated for 53 hours" like Amanda Knox (as claimed by her supporters) which forced them to blurt out a 'false confession' as happened to Knox (so claim her supporters)?
Will Trump intervene to demand Italy release the two US citizens?

The two Americans were arrested at a four-star hotel room in the Prati neighborhood of Rome on Friday as they were getting ready to leave the country, according to the carabinieri press office. The statement said that officers found “a knife of considerable size,” believed to be the weapon used to kill Brigadier Cerciello Rega, hidden behind a panel in the hotel room ceiling, along with clothes that the men had apparently worn during the attack. |
