Five men in Italy are currently being questioned by authorities after a male corpse was found in a suitcase, and a 17-year-old boy is among the suspects.
Police believe Hu Congliang, 20, was dating one of the men in Modena, a city in northern Italy.
Investigators think the 17-year-old boy invited friends over to Congliang’s home after he intimated he had erotic photographs of the pair and wasn’t afraid to publish them.

Congliang was allegedly suffocated before his body was placed in the suitcase.
“From what we understand so far, the punitive mission was prompted by the photographs,” says deputy police chief Marcello Castello.
“All five say they don’t speak Italian, which we don’t believe. They are all underage and have been utterly impassive. Just like their parents, who have been completely uncooperative.”
According to Asia One, the five boys said goodbye to Congliang’s mother after the murder and left the apartment, telling her that her son had taken off earlier on.
She discovered her son’s body after seeing that the suitcase wasn’t it the usual place.
One man voluntarily turned himself in. The rest were arrested.

This article is so poorly written as to be impossible to follow who is who and so did what.

Most online articles are outsourced to be written by people outside the US and also by software. Real journalists are rare this day in age.

How bizarre that this is yet another gay Italian-Chinese murder case. The most famous one involved Canadian gay porn actor Luka Magnotta, who murdered, dismembered and ate his boyfriend, a Chinese student. He posted a video of the dismemberment and cannibalism online, as well as mailed body parts to elementary schools and politicians. The crime was sparked, in part, by the student’s desire to break up and date women (under pressure from his parents). Shades of Jeffrey Dahmer, who also cannibalized his victims so that he can keep them eternally.
There are plenty of videos and articles about the Magnotta crime. Just search for his name. Although Magnotta is Canadian and the alleged murderers in this case are probably Chinese (they claim to not speak Italian), it just seems weird to have two gay murders with Italian and Chinese connections.

Here is an article on the Magnotta case with photos and video. Those with a strong stomach (and cannibalistic fetish) can search the internet for videos of the actual dismemberment. Be forewarned, it’s grisly. And I say that as a medical researcher who have watched many medical procedures. This mainstream article, however, is safe-for-work.

Oops, I just realized that Luka Magnotta’s birth name is Eric Clinton Kirk Newman so there is actually no real Italian connection in the Magnotta case. In other words, the whole basis for my original post is nulled. Oh well. Newnan did legally change his name to Magnotta though. But if you want you read more about the notorious case, and the related case of the website being prosecuted for hosting the grisly video, go here:

WTF THAT IS HORRIFIC

So why don’t the police bring in someone who speaks Chinese? It’ll make it more difficult for the perps, if they did the crime, to claim they did not understand what was going on because they will be questioned and kept abreast of developments in their native language.
