Summary:

On May 26, 2002, in the sleepy Italian village of Lauro, three female members of the Cava family were shot dead. The youngest victim, Clarissa, was just 16. The perpetrators of this crime were members of the rival Graziano family; and, shockingly, police now believe that the killers, too, were women. Using footage from the aftermath of the murder and interviewing locals from Lauro and the neighbouring town of Quindici, Correspondent tells how the last taboo came to be broken, and asks how police will cope with the new 'equal opportunities' mafia.
