19-year-old arrested for NYE m

A 19-year-old has confessed to allegedly murdering Roberto Comelli, 42, on New Year's Eve in the northern town of Provaglio d'Iseo, investigative sources said Thursday.
    The teen from the town of Prevalle near Brescia, who is under arrest on murder charges, told investigators that he stabbed Comelli after he tried to break into a private party he was attending with some 80 youths.
    After the arrest ordered by local prosecutor Laura Matrone, the 19-year-old was taken to the Canton Montello prison in Bergamo.
    Carabinieri police found the murder weapon, a kitchen knife, close to Comelli's body.
    Investigative sources said the murder was likely committed at the end of a fight whose exact causes have yet to be determined.
