Two brothers were killed this morning just after seven in Partinico, 35km from Palermo in what appears a mafia attack. Another person was injured but not seriously. The victims, Giuseppe and Gianpaolo Riina, 32 and 38, were sons of a constructor, Salvatore Riina, killed by the mafia ten years ago in Partinico in the same street (Via Merlo) where the sons were killed this morning. The Riina brothers had left their house to go to work in the construction company of some relatives when they were shot with automatic weapons. They tried to get away, but didn't get further than Piazza Santa Caterina. Fulvio Giordano, 24, was injured, he was taken to the Partinico Hospital. The assistant prosecutor of the Local Anti-Mafia Investigation Department of Palermo, Michele Prestipino, is coordinating the investigation.
