Overview
- Vasile Frumuzache confirmed in a June 7 court hearing that he strangled and decapitated Denisa Maria Adas and killed Ana Maria Andrei while denying any involvement in further murders.
- Investigators flagged the absence of blood traces at Adas’s Prato residence and are exploring the possibility that a third party helped clean the crime scene and transport the victim’s body.
- Authorities have obtained seven years of Frumuzache’s call and text records and are cross-referencing them with unsolved missing persons cases in Tuscany and Sicily.
- Frumuzache was burned in the face by boiling oil during an assault carried out by a relative of one victim in Prato prison and is now held in isolation as the assault is probed.
- His employer maintains he was on vacation at the time of Adas’s killing and had shown no prior violent behavior, while the victim’s family questions the completeness of his confession.
