Peruvian Suspect Detained in Aurora Livoli Killing as Evidence Cites Strangulation and CCTV Links

Prosecutors will question the 57-year-old on Thursday after he asked to give his account.

Overview

  • Emilio Gabriel Valdez Velazco, 57, is in custody and under investigation in the death of 19-year-old Aurora Livoli in Milan.
  • Preliminary autopsy findings report neck injuries compatible with manual strangulation, with possible sexual violence not yet determined.
  • Surveillance footage and facial-recognition place the suspect with Livoli and at Cimiano metro, and a surviving victim from the metro attack identified him.
  • Investigators seized clothing linked to the night in question, a smartphone, and a bag with female garments from a room he used.
  • Records show expulsion orders in 2019 and March 2024, with the latter not executed due to an expired passport and a medical ruling that blocked CPR placement.
