'Instigation' probe opened int

Judicial authorities on Monday opened an instigation to suicide probe into the death of a 15-year-old who was found dead in an abandoned farmhouse in Montignano near the Marche city of Senigallia.
    The teen had been reported missing by his parents on Sunday night after he had stolen the gun legally detained by his father, a municipal police officer, and left the family home.
    The probe, against person or persons unknown, was opened by prosecutors in the nearby city of Ancona.
    State authorities ordered an autopsy and the seizure of the minor's phone which will be analysed by Carabinieri police who suspect the teen could have been bullied.
    The teen's body was discovered on Monday morning after Carabinieri police organized a search operation in the city and nearby countryside.
    Local schools had also been alerted not to let students leave the premises over fears the teen could have posed a threat to others.
