Kochi: Two Italian marines charged with killing two Indian fishermen and currently out on bail, returned to Kerala Friday after celebrating Christmas with their families in Italy.

"We have kept our word and have full faith in the Indian judicial system. I'm sure the people of Kerala and the country will look upon this as an act that shows the good relations the two countries have," Italy's consular general told reporters soon after the marines arrived here at 8.30 a.m. on a chartered flight from Rome.

Lattore Massimillano and Salvatore Girone were given relaxation in bail conditions and they left Kerala Dec 22 to spend Christmas with their families. They were asked by the Kerala High Court to return by Jan 10.

On their arrival here Friday, the duo were driven to the police commissioner's office for reporting. They would appear before a court in Kollam to surrender their passports and then return to Kochi, where they will be staying in a hotel.
