A man detained at the weekend has
reported confessed to killing gay activist Vincenzo Ruggiero,
whose remains are thought to be those found by Carabinieri
police chopped up and soaked in acid in a garage on Sunday.
The suspect, Ciro Guarente, reportedly said the motive for
the crime was jealously after being detained on Saturday.
Ruggiero is thought to have been killed on the southern
province of Caserta on July 7.
A autopsy will be held to verify if the remains are
Ruggiero's.
Guarente reportedly said initially that he dumped the body at
sea after the murder.
