Man arrested in murders at Sarzana

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 7 - A 44-year-old artisan was arrested Tuesday in connection with the murder of a 35-year-old Albanian woman at the weekend and a young man, reportedly a transsexual, Monday night at Sarzana in Liguria.
    The murders are believed to have been linked to a prostitution ring.
    The woman, Nevila Pjetri, was found dead in the dried-up bed of a river on Sunday morning, reportedly shot and stabbed in the ear with a screwdriver.
    The man who was arrested is the owner of a car that was found a few hundred metres from the young man's body.
    Inside the grey Ford Fiesta, which did not have a license plate, police found at least two pistol shell casings and traces of blood on a carpet.
    Police traced the car to its owner by the chassis number.
