They certainly knew Fanucci was killed--he stopped collecting from them, and no doubt the police found his body and a crowd saw it taken away. When Vito showed up and started "protecting" the businesses that Fanucci had "protected" previously, they put two and two together.
Turnbull,
As usual you put in the missing piece
. Couple of follow up questions.
-Why did Vito take over Fannuci's "business"? I am under the assumption that he whacked him, because he was trying to extort money from him, and this was in effect "taking food off his familys table". I don't think he did it to move up the pecking order.
-How long after the assasination, did he wait to start collecting? Did he do with or without Clemenza and Tessio [dont forget the novel when answering these
]
-How come Roberto, a prosperous landlord [he did dress nice
] didn't know about Don Vito?
