Two arrested for murdering transsexual

(ANSA) - Caserta, February 19 - A Brazilian transsexual found dead in a street in the southern town of Castel Volturno in early February was drugged with a cocktail of cocaine and heroin and sexually assaulted before being dragged outside and left in the cold to die, investigators said Thursday.
    The circumstances surrounding the death of Marcio Henrique Barbosa Cruz, whose body was found on February 3, emerged during an investigation that led to the arrest of 10 people on Thursday on drugs-related charges.
    Two Nigerians, Snuel Ajayi and Fidelis Ezeani, were arrested in connection with the murder on the basis of video camera images allegedly showing them dragging Barbosa Cruz outside. The crime came to light after investigators using wiretaps overheard one of the drugs suspects mention the death of a person who had been drugged and possibly raped.
