A 21-year-old Iranian would be the boy arrested in the case of Nino Calabrò and Francesca Di Dio , the two boyfriends found dead in England , Wednesday at 2.10 pm, in their home in Thornaby, on the west bank of the river Tess, in the county of Yorkshire .
Some friends of the two boys called the police, suspicious because neither of them was answering the phone. Twenty-four hours after the discovery, the Cleveland police had not yet given their names, but in the Messina area in Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto and in Milazzo, the cities where Nino lived before moving abroad, as in Montagnareale, where Francesca lived with his parents and eighteen-year-old sister, the news was already known in the morning. The English police are not yet talking about murder, but in the meantime they confirm the arrest of the 21-year-old.
The story is still shrouded in mystery . Calabrò, the son of a non-commissioned officer of the Guardia di Finanza, stationed in Milazzo, had graduated from the industrial institute and shortly after had found a job in a pizzeria. Three years ago he had the opportunity of a position at the Grosvenor Casino in Stockton-on-Tees, a town of 80,000 northwest of Thornaby. Francesca, who had left her studies at the Art Institute, had gone to see him for the Christmas holidays. It wasn't the first time : a few months ago she flew to England and found a seasonal job in a restaurant.
The two were to return to Sicily together for the Christmas holidays.
The boys' parents have already left for England, while the Italian consulate in Manchester, led by consul Matteo Corradini, is in contact with the local investigative authorities and with the family members to offer them assistance . Relatives and friends, those who remain in Sicily, experience the dismay of what happened. The mayor of Milazzo, Pippo Midili, is astonished: "There are no words to describe such a dramatic death".
