There are suspicions about three people in relation to the disappearance and death of Giuseppe Pedrazzini, a 77-year-old whose body was recovered overnight in a well near the house where the pensioner lived in Toano, in the province of Reggio Emilia.
They are the daughter, the son-in-law and the wife.
The first two, questioned in the past few hours, assisted by the lawyer Ernesto D'Andrea, have not yet answered the questions of the investigators.
All three are in the barracks to be heard after the body is recovered.
The investigations by the Prosecutor's Office and Carabinieri continue to ascertain the causes of death and any responsibilities.
