on the ring road surrounding the Veneto city.
The first woman's murder took place in the Gogna quarter, on the outskirts of Vicenza.
The woman, Lidia Miljkovic, had just taken her two children to school and was in her car about to head for home, when the murderer approached her. It may have been a rendez-vous, police said.
The man, also Serbian, shot her while she was still in the vehicle, police said.
A manhunt has been launched across Veneto.
It later emerged that the man had been served a restraining order regarding his ex in 2019.
He was said to be armed and dangerous, and carrying explosives, two of which he set off while making his getaway, police said.
