A 46-year-old Italian man on Friday
confessed to murdering his 73-year-old mother in her home near
Taranto on Thursday night.
Silvana La Rocca, originally from Saraceno (Cosenza) found
lifeless in the garden of her small villa in Marina di Leporano
with a deep wound to the abdomen.
Her son, Salvatore D'Ettori, tracked down by the Carabinieri and
taken to the provincial command for questioning, has reportedly
confessed to having stabbed the woman and then fled.
It is the latest in a spate of femicides in Italy.
