A 65-year-old Italian man allegedly
set fire to the car in which his 60-year-old wife was riding and

her with his bare hands in Bari, police said Monday.
The man, a known criminal, was arrested by the police on charges
of premeditated and aggravated murder.
The woman was hospitalized and before dying, she managed to tell
her daughter and the police what had happened.
