时间：2018-12-31 作者：英语课 分类：365个英语简短小故事
An Italian couple murdered four people in the house next door. They slit 1 the throats of their neighbor, Maria Como, and her mom. Then they slit the throats of Mrs. Como's 2-year-old little boy, Perry, and a woman who just happened to be visiting. Finally, they set the house on fire! This all happened two weeks before Christmas.
The couple had complained constantly 2 to the Comos about the noise they caused, but no one else in the neighborhood seemed to think that the Comos were noisy.
"Maria was a kind and quiet person," said one of her neighbors. "She and her husband used to push little Perry around the neighborhood in his stroller. They were friendly to everyone. I can't believe this happened."
Police in the northern Italian town could not believe it either. A spokesman 3 said that never in the history of Italy had a married couple worked as a team to slice four neighbors' throats and then try to burn their house down!
"I think if they claim temporary insanity 4, everyone will believe it!" said the spokesman.
After firemen found the four bodies, the couple calmly confessed 5 to the police.
