AFP reports: Two Italian marines suspected of murdering two Indian fishermen they mistook for pirates set off back for India today after a court-granted Christmas leave at home with their families.

The marines, Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone, who are awaiting trial in India and are also under investigation in Italy, were questioned by prosecutors in Rome for five hours before boarding a special military flight from Ciampino airport bound for Kerala.

Prosecutors had voiced fears that the men would not return from their leave in Italy.
