Two men and one woman arrested after explosion in Castel d’Azzano, which police believe to have been intentional
An explosion at a farmhouse near Verona killed three police officers and injured at least 13 others, officials said on Tuesday.
Police were attempting to conduct an eviction when the house blew up overnight in Castel d’Azzano, in northern Italy, in what appeared to be an intentional act of violence.
Police have arrested two men and one woman, all siblings in their 60s, who were the targets of the eviction.
The house was filled with gas and the explosion was triggered by the front door opening when the law enforcement officers broke in, investigative sources said.
“Upon entering the house, we were confronted with an act of absolute madness,” the provincial police commander Claudio Papagno told the ANSA news agency.
