Hundreds of mourners gathered in Rome on Monday to say goodbye to the member of the storied Carabinieri paramilitary corps who Italian police say was stabbed to death by two American teens last week.
Principal J.C. Farr with Tamalpais Union High School District, located in an affluent suburb just north of San Francisco, earlier confirmed that the suspects had graduated in 2018.
While both suspects remained in custody and the investigation continued, Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has already weighed in.that if found guilty, the pair should be handed a sentence of life in prison and that the only real victim in the incident is the dead officer. The tweet included an image that appears to be one of the men blindfolded and handcuffed in police custody.
Elder's family said in a statement Sunday that they had not heard from him since an initial phone call he made at the police station on Friday. Elder has been appointed an Italian public defender, the family said. His parents plan to go to Rome as soon as the U.S. State Department ensure they will be able to see their son, they added.
