Killed with stab wounds in her home bed
A 71-year-old woman, Emilia Bianchi, was found stabbed to death in her bed at a villa on Via Paolo VI in Palosco, in the province of Bergamo. According to tgcom24.mediaset.it, one of her two sons, a 47-year-old man, was arrested a few hours after the crime on suspicion of having killed her.
The alarm was raised around midday by a relative who had been unable to contact the woman for days. Carabinieri from the Treviglio company and local police officers reached the villa and discovered the lifeless body in the bed, bearing clear signs of stabbing. The son was found on the premises in a state of shock.
According to initial reconstruction, the murder dated back several days before its discovery, probably to Friday, but was only discovered following a check by local police alerted by the family. According to local media, the victim suffered multiple stab wounds, probably more than a dozen.
The arrested son lived in the same villa as his mother together with another brother. A sister of the woman lives in another property in the town. The investigation documents a difficult family context, which investigators are still examining.
Carabinieri from the Martinengo station and Treviglio company attended the scene, along with a dog unit and the forensic unit for investigation. A doctor from the Institute of Legal Medicine in Pavia carried out the initial examination, and an autopsy will be performed at the same institute.
The investigation, coordinated by the Bergamo Public Prosecutor's Office headed by Maurizio Romanelli and conducted by the Carabinieri, is continuing to ascertain the exact date of the murder, the involvement of other persons, and the motives for the act.
