Young Woman Found Dead in Milan Courtyard as Prosecutors Open Homicide Case

An autopsy will determine cause and time of death as investigators work to identify the victim.

Overview

  • The body, described as semi-clothed and lacking documents, was discovered this morning in a via Paruta condominium courtyard by the building’s custodian.
  • Initial checks noted bruises and marks, including on the neck, prompting investigators to examine the possibility of sexual violence without drawing conclusions before forensic results.
  • Preliminary assessments place the death after 10 p.m. on Sunday, with the exact timing and cause pending the medical examiner’s report.
  • Carabinieri units are collecting surveillance footage from nearby public and private cameras and interviewing residents to reconstruct movements during the night.
  • Neighbors said they did not recognize the woman and that the courtyard gate is typically left open, while authorities also search reception communities to establish her identity.
