Area 16: Cottage
Crime scene photos
16-01 The cottage had a driveway gate. The driveway gate could be opened by key, or via an electronic “˜buzzer’ release via an intercom system inside the cottage. If someone did not have a key, they could ring a buzzer at the gate and speak to anyone in the cottage via the intercom, and the person inside the cottage could “˜ring’ open the gate. This system is very common in Italy.

16-03 The upper apartment front door had a security grille that was apparently not being used. (Romanelli 2009)
