In the case of a 21-year-old woman who was found dead in her ex-boyfriend’s apartment in Schlanders in Vinschgau, South Tyrol, the woman’s suspected 28-year-old ex-partner must remain in custody. The responsible investigating judge saw the danger of escape and recurrence, South Tyrolean media reported on Wednesday. The man has so far remained silent about the allegations.
The exact motive for the act was therefore unclear. According to unconfirmed information, the alleged murder weapon, a knife, is said to have been secured in the apartment. The woman apparently had multiple stab wounds on her body. As the internet platform “stol.it” reported, citing the prosecutor’s office, “nine knife wounds and two small superficial stab wounds, all in the area of the neck and upper chest”, were found during the autopsy. “Death occurred as a result of hemorrhagic shock resulting from injuries to the left carotid artery and pulmonary artery,” it said.
Mother reported daughter missing
The 21-year-old woman was reported missing by her mother on Sunday morning because she had not come home. The carabinieri then went to the ex-boyfriend’s apartment and gained entry after no one opened the door. There they found the young woman’s body around noon.
Arrested at the Tyrolean border
A large-scale manhunt was launched with the help of a helicopter to find the suspected 28-year-old of Turkish origin. Around 5 p.m., a patrol discovered the man’s car on its way to the Austrian border at the Reschen Pass. He tried to flee, but was stopped by gunfire in the tires of his Ford Fiesta. The vehicle overturned in a meadow and the suspect was arrested.
According to media reports, the woman reported her partner in June at the time. And because of violent behavior. The man allegedly attacked her in the car at the time.
An approach ban was therefore not issued. As the Public Prosecution Service has announced, this is not possible in such cases. Several women’s associations have strongly criticized the legal situation.
