Mar. 03, 1967 - The supposed murderers of two brothers gunned down in a jewel robbery were arrested by the Carabinieri'. On the 17th of January the brothers Gabriele and Silvano Menegazzo, 19 and 23, jewellery salesman for their father's firm, were gunned down in the street in front of their home and robbed of two vaults containing some 0, 000 in jewellery.
