Man Found Dismembered in Turin Flat; Three People Detained

A reported confession has focused investigators on a drug‑fuelled party theory with forensic tests set to establish cause, timing and the suspects’ roles.

Overview

  • Late Thursday night into early Friday police found the dismembered remains of 39‑year‑old Fabio Colapietro inside sacks and buckets at an apartment on via Gulli in the Borgo Vittoria neighborhood of Turin.
  • Prosecutors ordered the detention of 26‑year‑old Christian Matheus De Oliveira Morando on charges of murder and suppression of a corpse and held two women, including tenant Nicole Formichetti, for alleged aiding and concealment.
  • The 26‑year‑old has reportedly confessed and told investigators the group had used multiple drugs over several days at a party that investigators say may have turned violent.
  • Officers recovered knives, a cleaver and quick‑setting cement at the scene and found body parts in sacks and buckets, and autopsy, toxicology and scene reconstructions are pending to determine where and how Colapietro died.
  • Investigators continue searches, phone and witness checks and will present the detentions for judicial convalida while neighbors, the victim’s family and the school community of the detained teacher grapple with shock and unanswered questions.
