Real Life Heinous Crimes

I don't know if this story's been widely published but i sure as heck know it's too CSI to not be creepy. I am hardly believing it myself.
In Perugia in Italy, a student at the University of Foreigners had her throat slit in the apartment that she shared with 3 other foreign girls. Apparently, this was done because she refused to take part in a violent orgy. The police initially detained a bar owner (whom she worked for) who was said to have raped and killed her. He had been fingered by the dead girl's flatmate, who changed her alibi a couple of times (highly suspicious!) initially saying she had not been in and then saying she had for a little while and had heard things. In any case, she and her boyfriend are suspects in the murder as the boyfriend is an avid knife collector and the dead girl's DNA was found on one of the knives he possesses (despite him bleaching it).
Although a break in had been staged and a window was broken, the couple are still highly suspect.
A fourth suspect has also been detained in Germany where he fled and his fingerprints and DNA have been found at the crime scene. They found him through his Facebook and Skype activities, when a friend he was chatting with on Skype collaborated with the police and tried to trap him into returning into Italy.
Now, almost a month later, the bar owner's been released with nothing on him (although they are questioning WHY he deleted a message from her on that night and why his phone signal was coming from the cottage then), the housemate's boyfrend refuses to see her again ("If i'm here it's all her fault"), the fourth suspect is being extradited from Germany (after being traced with technology) and the housemate is detained and, personally, a bit of a psycho case if u ask me.


I'm overwhelmed by:

• how much like CSI this sounds
• how appalling it is that this happens in real life
  
• how much the police can find out by tracking online movements
• how police can retrieve deleted phone messages
• how our mobile phones are like tracking devices that we don't even think about.

Technology - creepy and useful at the same time.
It's privacy over security (as demonstrated by this case)
So, even after graduation, the Arts degree never leaves you.

On a completely unrelated note,
packing is going well. :S
