Overview

• Police found the 47-year-old dead inside her Montecorvino Rovella apartment with preliminary medico-legal findings indicating external mechanical asphyxia, with the autopsy to follow in Eboli.
• Carabinieri arrested 36-year-old ex-partner Christian Persico in the San Pietro area after an hours-long search, and he has been transferred to custody at Fuorni.
• Persico has exercised his right to remain silent during questioning, according to his lawyer, as prosecutors in Salerno coordinate the investigation.
• Investigators report signs of a struggle and blood traces in the home, and one account cites possible use of kitchen cling film, a detail that remains unconfirmed pending forensic results.
• Relatives of the suspect alerted authorities and reports mention a note saying “Ho fatto una cavolata,” while the town canceled events and declared mourning for the mother of three.
