Mexico, Italian killed in a bar in Playa del Carmen
According to the reconstruction, a former colleague of the woman would have fired the shots. At the origin of the crime there could be a passionate motive, but the investigations have just begun and there are still no precise findings. Ornella Saiu, according to what is learned, in the past she had worked right in the bar where she was hit. Whoever killed her entered without saying a word and, once approached, hit her on the head.
