From the first results, the crime would have been committed with a knife a few days ago, probably following a quarrel that took place in the house that was owned by the woman. In these hours the investigators are trying to verify the story of the confessed woman and the relationship that existed between the victim and the murderer.
According to the woman, she and the pensioner have known each other for some time since neighbors and residents of the same building but the 46-year-old would have declared that she had been repeatedly attacked by the man. Still according to her story, still to be verified, the woman would have reacted after yet another attack. The woman said she was forced to defend herself with a kitchen knife, found by investigators near the man’s body. The victim’s body was in a bedroom in the woman’s home. At the moment, however, it is not clear why the 46-year-old waited days before reporting what happened.
