It was the younger of two boys
who set fire to a homeless man near Verona on December 13 who
admitted killing the man for kicks, Italian police said on
Friday.
The 13-year-old boy said he and his 17-year-old companion
made "partial admissions" about the terrible "prank" they played
on a 64-year-old Moroccan found burned to a cinder in his car at
Zaveio near Verona , police said after the incident gained major
headlines.
Given his age, the younger boy is not liable to arrest or
detention, judicial sources said.
The fire on the old Fiat Bravo containing Ahamed Fdil was set
using a number of rolls of kitchen paper, perhaps taken from a
nearby pizzeria, police said.
It is not clear whether they were thrown into the vehicle or
under it, police said.
