Italian Mafia murder boy of Three after his grandfather failed to repay debt


Investigators believe Nicola Campolongo was killed over an unpaid drug debt

A three-year-old boy has been murdered by the mafia, who then burnt his body, after a drug debt between rival clans went unpaid, investigators believe.

The body of Nicola Campolongo was found over the weekend in a burned-out car behind an abandoned farmhouse. Alongside it were the corpses of his grandfather Salvatore Iannicelli, 52, and his girlfriend Ibtissa Touss, 27.

The killing of a toddler has shocked even hardened investigators in Italy, where bosses have long perpetrated the myth that the mob doesn't hurt women and children. In reality there have been many innocent victims of the criminal organisations over the years. The grandfather was caring for little Nicola, nicknamed Coco, because the boy's father and mother, Mr Iannicelli's daughter, are both in jail for drugs.  Very sad!
