Milan Investigators Release CCTV Images to Identify Woman Found Dead in Courtyard

An imminent autopsy will determine the cause of death, with investigators focusing on night‑time footage showing her arrival with a man who later left alone.

Overview

  • The victim, believed to be 25–30, was found Monday morning in the internal courtyard of a Via Paruta condominium without documents, phone or identifying marks.
  • Prosecutors have opened a homicide case coordinated by on‑duty prosecutor Antonio Pansa, and Carabinieri have issued a public appeal asking anyone who recognizes her to call 112.
  • Recovered surveillance shows two people entering the courtyard at night and later only a man leaving; selected frames were released to help establish the woman’s identity.
  • Initial forensic checks found no gunshot or knife wounds and no fractures consistent with a fall, while ecchymoses on the neck and a black eye require autopsy confirmation to assess possible strangulation or sexual violence.
  • Fingerprint searches in AFIS and checks with shelters have yielded no matches, residents and the caretaker say they do not recognize her, and investigators note the complex’s gates are often left open.
