German Man Arrested in Italy Over Partner’s Violent Death

The 62-year-old is accused of killing his partner in October, with her body found burned near their home in Castellabate.

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.
