Italian police say they have arrested two more members of a leading Mafia family.

Pasquale Russo has been on the run since the mid-1990s and has 13 homicide convictions.

He was arrested, along with his brother Carmine, in Sperone, some 30km (20 miles) east of Naples on Sunday.

Another brother, Salvatore Russo, was found on chicken farm on Saturday.

Police say the three ran a clan of the Naples organised crime group known as the Camorra.

Duncan Kennedy reports.
