Suspect in Bologna Train Conductor Killing Held as Autopsy Proceeds

Fingerprint matches plus CCTV footage underpin the case, with a prior removal order now under scrutiny.

Overview

  • Police in Desenzano identified and detained Marin Jelenic after a nationwide alert, recognizing his clothing from released images and confirming his identity through fingerprinting and fotosegnalamento.
  • Jelenic is jailed in Brescia awaiting a judge’s validation hearing, with Bologna prosecutors charging him with aggravated murder tied to the railway setting.
  • Two knives seized at the time of the detention are undergoing analysis, and the court-ordered autopsy of victim Alessandro Ambrosio is scheduled for today.
  • Authorities note repeated prior reports against Jelenic for carrying knives and violent conduct, as well as a Milan prefect’s December 23 order directing him to leave Italy within ten days.
  • Investigators say no connection between victim and suspect has emerged, railway workers rallied for greater safety in Bologna, and the prefect announced reinforced security measures.
