“A 17-year-old arrested” –

A 17-year-old boy was arrested in connection with the murder of Maria Campai, the 42-year-old Roman national found dead in the garden of a villa in Viadana, in the province of Mantua. At the time of the discovery of the body she had been missing for days and the Rai program Chi l’ha visto? had also covered her case.

According to what transpires, the woman had arrived in the town from Parma accompanied by her sister to meet the young man she met online. According to initial reconstructions, the two would have had an intimate encounter and then the 17-year-old would have killed her by strangling her or hitting her violently on the head. The motive for the crime is still unclear. He would later take the body and take it to the abandoned house.

Campai lived in Parma with her sister, after separating from her husband. It was she who accompanied her to Viadan, reports the Gazzetta di Mantova. He left her in Viadana with the agreement that she would call him to pick her up. A call that never came, and the next day the alarm went off about her disappearance. Then he recognized the boy, from Viadana, in the following days while he was delivering flyers about his sister’s disappearance. The 17-year-old, who is being checked, was accompanied together with his father to the police station to be interrogated.
