OLIVET, Mich. (AP) -- A 24-year-old Michigan man linked to a slaying in Italy is an Olivet College student who traveled there to study art with a professor and other students.

The college, 30 miles south of Lansing, says Johnathan Hindenach is a junior art major who enrolled in January.

Italian authorities say Hindenach confessed to killing a man in Florence early Thursday.

Olivet President Don Tuski says seven other students and the professor will depart Italy on Saturday. The 16-day trip was supposed to run until May 18.

Olivet describes Hindenach as a top student who recently received an award in visual arts. Before attending Olivet, the Charlotte, Mich., man was a student at Grand Valley State University and Lansing Community College.
