An Italian policeman shot his
wife and then himself dead near Venice Thursday.
Luigi Nocco, who worked in the Venice central police
station's immigration office, shot Sabrina Panzonato with his
service revolver and then turned it on himself, police said.
The couple, who had been separated for some time, were
constantly bickering, local sources said.
The murder-suicide took place outside a house on a narrow
country road at Dogaletto di Mira near Venice.
Panzonato, who was a nurse at Mestre hospital, tried to flee
the house but was shot in the back of the neck as she fled,
police said.
