Italian Researcher Killed in Colombia: Four Arrests Made
The death of Alessandro Coatti, Italian biologist and researcher found lifeless in Colombia, dates back to April 6 and since then the investigations in the country have never stopped, tightening day after day the noose around those believed to be responsible for his murder. These are four people, arrested in the last few hours. But how was it possible to identify and track them down?
The Carabinieri del Ros worked in coordination with the Colombian authorities, carrying out an in-depth series of investigations on Coatti's electronic devices. In addition, several people informed of the facts were questioned and, again, a series of technical checks on objects owned by the victim allowed them to collect further clues.
The electronic devices, in particular, have allowed us to build a picture of the events relating to the last days of the researcher's life. His movements in the Colombian city of Santa Marta and the phases of the crime were also reconstructed. Finally, the authorities collected numerous elements that allowed them to identify the perpetrators of the murder and, in this way, to proceed with their arrest.
