The monster revealed


FLORENCE (Reuters) – Almost 20 years after the last murder blamed on the “Monster of Florence,” investigators have reopened the case because they suspect a Satanic cult ordered the killings and kept body parts as prizes.

“The refrigerator of horror,” was Friday’s headline in Il Messaggero newspaper, referring to new witness reports of female genitalia and body parts in the fridge of a plush Tuscan villa.

The villa was rented by a doctor, thought to have drowned in a Tuscan lake in 1985. But when authorities recently discovered he was a suspected Satanist and had actually been murdered, they reopened their files, a judicial source told Reuters.

Investigators now suspect the doctor was part of a clan that ordered the “Monster” to kill eight couples.
