Here's a more detailed <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2280543_1,00.html">article</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>This is some weird stuff. <br><br>"...having apparently been kidnapped on his way home from a meeting of the Roman Catholic organisation Opus Dei...<br><br>The body of Gianmario Roveraro, 70, had <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>been chopped into pieces and hidden in a hut beneath a motorway bridge</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> about 18 miles (30km) from Parma."<br><br>"The alleged ringleader of those arrested is Filippo Botteri, 43, described as a former financial consultant from Parma who allegedly had had business dealings with Signor Roveraro.<br><br>Police said that he had confessed to the kidnap and murder but had refused to reveal a motive. He had told investigators he had suffered a memory loss, adding: ÒDonÕt ask me any more questions, I donÕt remember a thingÓ. Police said that the kidnappers appeared to have intended to murder Signor Roveraro from the start given that credible ransom note had been received."<br><br>"The case has echoes of the death of Roberto Calvi, the Vatican-linked Milanese financier founded dead under Blackfriars Bridge in London in 1982 after his bank collapsed in a fraud scandal. His death was initially ruled to be suicide, but a murder inquiry was later opened and five people with Mafia links are on trial in Rome accused of conspiring to kill him.<br><br>Anyone have any theories? <p></p><i></i>
