Two Egyptian men have been held in
relation to the murder of 19-year-old Mahmoud Sayed Mohamed
Abdalla, whose mutilated body was found in the sea near to the
northeastern port of Santa Margherita Ligure last week.
The suspects, Abdelwahab Ahmed Gamal Kamel and Mohamed Ali
Abdelghani, accused each other of the crime during questioning,
sources said on Monday.
Abdalla, who was also Egyptian, was allegedly stabbed to death
after a row with his barber-shop employer sparked by him wanting
to change jobs, the sources said.
The two suspects allegedly put the victim's body in a suitcase
after the murder, took it from Genoa to Chiavari, by taxi and
dismembered the body on a beach, cutting off first the head and
then the hands.
They allegedly went on to dump the remains in the sea.
