It happened again where it shouldn’t happen, away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities, in a big village - where people aim to simplify life and smooth as much as possible what makes them different from each other.

What have the Romans ever done for us? Well, they built an aqueduct for a start which is still in use 2000 odd years later. The fertile soil and ample water sources of the area in which the town is situated have made the region an agricultural greenbelt. The chief crops are grapes, olives, and vegetables. We are not in Italy but it’s here that our story begins… or rather it is here, in Zaghuan, a city 50 miles south of the capital Tunis that Raffaella and her son Yussuf rest in peace - forev...

This case shook Italy for a variety of reasons, the coldness of the crime, a window into a world of absurd luxury, two years to solve and way too many cooks in the kitchen.  This week we bring you the story of the Blac...
