A19-year-old woman was stabbed to death near Bergamo Friday night as Italy’s wave of femicides continued.
The Italian national was killed in Costa Volpino, in the province of Bergamo.
The body was found at dawn Saturday in an apartment.
Initial findings suggest it was not a robbery that went wrong and ended in murder.
Investigators are investigating in particular among the victim’s acquaintances.
There have been over 90 femicides in Italy in 2024, five of them in the last week alone, the interior ministry said Friday amid the first appearance in court of Filippo Turetta, a young man who has confessed to the brutal murder last year of his 22-year-old former girlfriend Giulia Cecchettin in a case that shocked Italy and highlighted its problem with femicide and gender-based violence, which is showing a slight decrease but is still at near-record levels.
