Man arrested for allegedly killing, burning partner

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 16 - The partner of Silvia Nowak, a 53-year-old German woman who was killed and then burned in October in the town of Castellabate near Salerno, was arrested by Carabinieri police on Monday.
    Kai Dausel is charged with murdering Nowak and destroying her body. Prosecutors in Vallo Della Lucania probing the case on November 12 had officially placed the man under investigation for the murder of Nowak, whose semi-charred body was discovered in October in Ogliastro Marina, in the Cilento area.
    Investigative sources said Nowak, who had moved to Italy with her partner from Germany, was probably killed right after she disappeared on Tuesday, October 15.
    She was hit with a blunt object and stabbed before her body was burned.
    The body's remains were discovered on Friday, October 18, about 100 metres from the couple's home. (ANSA).
