ROME (Reuters) - An Italian student who was tortured and found dead in Egypt last week was given a funeral in his hometown on Friday and Italy's prime minister once again insisted that those responsible be caught and punished.

Crowds of mourners attended the funeral in Fiumicello, northern Italy, for Giulio Regeni, 28, whose body was found half-naked by a road in Cairo.
