Two Italian marines accused of killing two Indian fishermen returned to India on Friday after assurances that they would not be arrested or sentenced to death if convicted, dpa reported. Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone were taken to the Italian Embassy soon after they arrived. The marines arrived on a military plane accompanied by Italy's Deputy Foreign Minister Staffan de Mistura. India's Supreme Court last month allowed the marines, who were on bail awaiting trial, to travel to Italy for four weeks to vote in the general elections. Italian ambassador Daniele Mancini had given a personal assurance to the Supreme Court that the marines would return in four weeks. -- SPA 19:59 LOCAL TIME 16:59 GMT تغريد
