Two American teenagers have reportedly confessed to stabbing and killing an Italian police officer who was investigating the theft of a bag after a drug deal gone wrong in Rome.
Italian media reported that a detention order was issued for the suspects, identified as Gabriel Christian Natale Hjorth and Lee Elder Finnegan. They are said to have both been born in San Francisco in 2000.
They are accused of killing Carabinieri paramilitary officer Mario Cerciello Rega, 35, who was reportedly stabbed multiple times.
The two American teens – believed to be 19 – allegedly snatched a drug dealer’s bag with the phone and cash after he swindled them by giving them aspirin instead of the cocaine they sought, according to reports. The owner of the bag called his phone and one of the thieves allegedly offered to sell the bag back to him for 100 euros ($112).
After they agreed to meet for the exchange, the alleged drug dealer called police.
Two plainclothes paramilitary police officers arrived at the scene of the meeting around 3 a.m.
During a scuffle, Rega – who had just returned from his honeymoon with his longtime sweetheart a few days prior - was stabbed 8 times. He died a short while later in hospital.
Prosecutors said that Finnegan is the main suspect, accusing him of fatally stabbing Rega. Meanwhile, Hjorth is accused of using his bare hands to strike the officer’s partner, who wasn’t seriously injured in the attack.
The Carabinieri said video surveillance cameras and witnesses allowed them to quickly identify the two Americans and find them in a hotel near the scene of the slaying. Police said the pair were “ready to leave” Italy when they were found.

“Maybe they wanted to extend their Italian vacation.”
Or learn their language. I’ve always said that the best way to learn a language is to spend time in jail there...and these guys almost certainly will learn Italian, and probably be fluent in it.
But unlike Spanish, there’s only country that uses Italian is Italy (and a bit of Switzerland), and I doubt they’ll be getting a red carpet if they try to go there again.
You need some glasses. Both these boys are as white as Wonder bread.
I was actually being serious.
Since it’s said all the time here, used to DEATH, this is one time where though VERY unlikely, one of them could have been

Having great stories to tell about your younger life isn’t worth the price you pay when you reach that other side of 50 going forward..
