Investigators believe that a
34-year-old woman whose body was found on a road under an
overpass in Vigonza, in the province of Padua, on Wednesday was
murdered by her partner, sources said on Thursday.
It had initially appeared that the woman had committed suicide
by throwing herself from the overpass from a height of around 15
metres.
But investigators now believe her 39-year partner pushed her off
overpass and he was detained overnight.
Italy has been hit by an alarming spate of femicides.
