Overview
- The Guardia Civil, which arrested a 45-year-old Italian from Avellino on Thursday, named him the alleged attacker in the stabbing.
- Francesco Sessa, a 35-year-old pizzaiolo from Pagani, died from a single stab to the left chest on Wednesday in Platja d'en Bossa.
- Witnesses said Sessa argued with two men who spoke a foreign language shortly before the assault, and the assailants fled.
- Detectives moved off an early robbery theory and are testing a revenge-style motive, with a possible drug link still under review.
- Police widened checks to the port and airport during an island-wide search, and an autopsy is pending as the Italian consulate supports the family.
