Two men from Munich are suspected of having rammed a boat on Lake Garda on Sunday night. An Italian couple was killed.
Rome / Brescia – After the fatal boat collision on Lake Garda in northern Italy, the two suspect Germans are back in Munich. This was confirmed by the office of the lawyer who represents the two 52-year-olds at the German Press Agency on Tuesday.

On Sunday night, according to media reports, a motorboat rammed the wooden boat of an Italian couple on Lake Garda and drove away. The two Germans were sitting in the motorboat.
The 25-year-old woman and her 37-year-old companion from the area on the west bank of Lake Garda lost their lives. A resident discovered the dead man in the boat on Sunday morning. Hours later, divers recovered the light of his partner from the depths of Lake Garda.
