No, perpetrators were hardly Amish. But not ROPers, either I suspect. Cape Verde was a Portuguese colony and I believe most residents are at least nominally Christian. According to the Italian papers, one of the killers was a "tour guide" who had been a "friend" of one of the victims. At least one of the victims lived and worked on the island, which apparently has become fashionable as a sun and sea destination for Euro tourists. Italian press reports that about 50 Italians live on the island, nearly all in the hotel, restaurant or condo sales/rental business.
