Maria Campai, a 42-year-old woman of
Romanian nationality whose body was found in the garden of an
abandoned villa in the centre of Viadana near Mantua earlier
this month, was violently beaten and then suffocated by her
alleged 17-year-old male student murderer, an autopsy showed
Wednesday.
The autopsy found various fractures all over the body and
reportedly showed all the violence with which the unnamed
student, in prison on charges of premeditated voluntary homicide
and concealment of a corpse, allegedly lashed out at the woman.
There were many details revealed by the autopsy examination that
contradicted the version given by the boy.
A juvenile court in Brescia on Monday validated the arrest of
the 17-year-old who is accused of the
premeditated murder of Campai inside the garage of the apartment
building where he lives in Viadana.
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.
