American teens arrested in murder of Italian officer accused each other, officials say.

The encounter quickly turned deadly with a violent struggle that resulted in Rega's stabbing.

A leaked photo that appears to show one of the men in police custody, blindfolded and handcuffed while sitting with his head bowed, is being investigated by police.
