'Cataraman killer' breaks out of jail again - update
(ANSA) - Livorno, April 28 - Italy's notorious 'Catamaran Killer' broke out of jail for the second time Monday.
Filippo De Cristofaro, 60, who made his first jail break in 2007, failed to report back to Livorno prison after a furlough for good behaviour.
Milan-born De Cristofaro, also nicknamed 'The Rambo of the Seas' for his failed romantic flight to Polynesia with a 17-year-old Dutch girl after murdering a yachtswoman when he was 34 in 1988, is being sought by police. He poisoned and chopped up 34-year-old Marche catamaran skipper Annarita Curina in 1988 so as to sail with Diane Beyer for a life in the South Seas, but set the wrong course and was eventually caught by Interpol while trying to escape into the desert on horseback in Tunisia. De Cristofaro, a former dancer and fitness instructor, got life for the murder and has so far served 26 years, not counting his brief flight from Milan's Opera jail seven years ago.
