Behan may sue over murder arrest

IRISH actor Paudge Behan is to consider suing Italian police after being informed he is no longer under investigation for the murder of a pensioner in Tuscany last week.

The 43-year-old Dubliner was arrested at the weekend as a suspect after the fatal stabbing of 72-year-old retired businesswoman, Silvana Abate, at her villa near the small town of Arcidosso last Thursday.

Although he was released without charge, police seized Mr Behan’s car and a knife at his home in Arcidosso, that had traces of blood, for further examination.
