A juvenile court in Brescia on Monday
validated the arrest of a 17-year-old who is accused of the
premeditated murder of Maria Campai, 42, inside the garage of
the apartment building where he lives in Viadana, near Mantua.
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.
