Rimini police Chief Maurizio Improta described Butungu’s arrest aboard a train at Rimini station. “The arrest this morning was doubly satisfying because putting the handcuffs on the fourth man were two women” police officers. The three other suspects, all minors, were already in police custody Saturday night. The Peruvian woman, raped and beaten in some bushes along the side of a road, identified the suspects for authorities, police said. The reports said authorities rejected his asylum bid but granted temporary permission to stay in Italy until 2018 on humanitarian grounds.
