Italy to return marine murder suspects to India

March 22, 2013 01:26

The Italian government says it will return to India two marines facing murder charges in the shooting deaths of two fishermen. The announcement this evening reversed an earlier decision by the foreign ministry saying the pair would not return on March 22 as agreed when they were granted permission to return home to vote in Italian elections.

The case has escalated tensions between India and Italy. The Indian Supreme Court has announced that the Italian ambassador could not leave the country.
