Overview

  • The suspect, a 62-year-old German man, was detained two months after the death of his 53-year-old partner in southern Italy.
  • The victim's body was discovered partially burned and unclothed in a wooded area 150 meters from their shared home in Castellabate.
  • The man had initially reported his partner missing, claiming she left the house while he was asleep.
  • Authorities suspect the man of involvement in the killing, though he participated in a public memorial for his late partner days before his arrest.
  • Prosecutors are expected to provide further details on the investigation during a press conference later today.
