Ilaria Sula, a 22-year-old female
student who went missing in Rome on 25 March and whose body was
found in a suitcase in countryside near the Italian capital on
Wednesday in the latest horrific femicide to hit Italy, was
killed with three stab wounds to the neck, an autopsy said
Thursday.
The young woman died of hemorrhagic shock, it said.
Further tests will be needed to establish the date and time of
the murder.
Sula's 23-year-old Filippino-Italian ex-boyfriend has confessed
after been detained and charged with homicide and hiding a body.
He allegedly stabbed the woman to death in an apartment in Rome
and then dumped the body.
The corpse was found in woods at the bottom of a cliff in the
area of the Lazio town of Poli.
The suspect was named as Mark Antony Samson, a recent
architecture graduate who also formerly worked at McDonald's and
was described by people in his Rome neighborhood as being
cheerful and polite.
