According to investigators, the victim had obvious signs of violence, including severe head injuries and leg fractures, indicating that she had been brutally assaulted. The man was identified based on the passport found on him.
The investigations quickly led to a suspect, a Romanian with a criminal record, who was last seen in the company of the victim, in the place where she was discovered.
During the hearings, the man admitted the act. He told the investigators that a fight broke out between him and the victim after the Moldovan allegedly insulted his family. The conflict escalated, and the Romanian attacked the man with a crowbar, hitting him several times until he died.
After confessing to the crime, the suspect was apprehended and placed in the custody of Italian authorities.
