The body of an Italian student who disappeared last week in Egypt’s capital Cairo has been found and shows signs of torture, officials said.

Giulio Regeni, age 28, disappeared on the evening of January 25th, after leaving his home in Giza to meet a friend.

His body was found on a road on Cairo’s western outskirts yesterday.

State prosecutor Ahmed Nagi told reporters that there were signs of torture on the body, including cigarette burns and knife wounds.

The Italian foreign ministry in Rome “urgently” summoned the Egyptian ambassador to express its concern on Thursday morning.
