Dismembered Body Found in Turin Flat; Three People Detained

Squadra Mobile has opened forensic tests and searches to identify the victim and prosecutors are probing whether the killing occurred at the via Gulli address.

Overview

  • Police discovered dismembered male remains hidden in large black sacks inside a via Gulli apartment late on the night of Thursday into Friday, Sept. 24–25, after a woman called emergency services saying her son had harmed someone.
  • The caller and her son led officers to the flat, where investigators reported knives and other traces of dismemberment and a strong odor that prompted the arrival of the Squadra Mobile and the forensic team.
  • Initial inquiries included searches in other addresses linked to those involved, including a flat in Mirafiori, and several people who frequented the via Gulli apartment were interviewed by investigators.
  • Prosecutor Lea Lamonaca coordinated the probe and authorities have detained three people on suspicion in the case, with a man reportedly accused of homicide and concealment of a body and two women accused of aiding the concealment.
  • The victim — reported late by police as a 39‑year‑old man — is being formally identified and forensic work is ongoing to establish the place of death, the motive, and the role of the apartment’s 49‑year‑old tenant and other acquaintances, while neighbors report frequent visitors to the flat.
