Bystanders reportedly managed to disarm the suspect before cops arrived. Italy’s far-right premier Giorgia Meloni revealed in a Facebook post later Sunday that one of the victims was a friend. Meloni revealed on Facebook they were friends and paid tribute to “a protective mother, a sincere and discreet friend, who was also a strong and fragile woman”. The killer had been arrested, she said, adding she hoped that “justice will quickly follow its course”. Credit: EPA
