(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 7 - The 38-year-old Pakistani-Italian former boyfriend of an Italian woman was arrested near Arezzo Monday on suspicion of murdering her 72-year-old mother in a row over his continued relationship with her daughter, police said.
    The victim, Letizia Girolami, 72, was found lifeless in a field in Foiano della Chiana near Arezzo.
    The murder, according to investigators, "could be the epilogue of an extremely tense situation in the family, and of conflict with Girolami, over the relationship between the 38-year-old and the woman's daughter".
    The victim, a psychotherapist and spiritual psychologist, was building 'spiritual ponds' when the man of Pakistani origin, perhaps at the height of an argument, violently hit her in the face, near one eye, with a stick found on the spot.
    It is the latest in a string of femicides in Italy. (ANSA).
