Campai beaten and suffocated says autopsy

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 2 - Maria Campai, a 42-year-old woman of Romanian nationality whose body was found in the garden of an abandoned villa in the centre of Viadana near Mantua earlier this month, was violently beaten and then suffocated by her alleged 17-year-old male student murderer, an autopsy showed Wednesday.
    The autopsy found various fractures all over the body and reportedly showed all the violence with which the unnamed student, in prison on charges of premeditated voluntary homicide and concealment of a corpse, allegedly lashed out at the woman.
    There were many details revealed by the autopsy examination that contradicted the version given by the boy.
    A juvenile court in Brescia on Monday validated the arrest of the 17-year-old who is accused of the premeditated murder of Campai inside the garage of the apartment building where he lives in Viadana.
    The teen is also accused of hiding Campai's body in the garden of an abandoned villa after the murder on September 19.
    The 17-year-old was questioned on Monday morning by magistrates before the arrest was validated, judicial sources said.
    He has been detained at Milan's Beccaria juvenile prison since his arrest last Friday.
    The teen told investigators that he killed Campai "out of curiosity" because he wanted to know what it felt like to murder someone, according to sources close to the probe.
    He allegedly met her through a dating app and had carried out online searches to learn how to murder someone with his bare hands prior to the killing, the sources added. (ANSA).
