A serious incident is reported to have occurred in Italy, where 22-year-old Albanian Ilaria Sula, who had been reported missing since March 25 in Rome, was found dead in a wooded area in Poli.
Corriere della Sera reports that her body was stuffed into a suitcase. It is also reported that some people who frequent a forest area in Poli, on the outskirts of the capital, found the young woman with no signs of life, locked inside a suitcase thrown into a ravine.
The cause of death is currently unknown. Criminal investigators and firefighters are at the scene to recover her body. According to initial investigations, the young woman had recently had a relationship with a Filipino citizen, who has been identified.
Ilaria was studying Statistics at Sapienza University. In addition to her family, who raised the alarm on social media on Tuesday, friends and colleagues also mobilized to find her by publishing numerous photos of her.
The investigation took a dramatic turn overnight when police arrived at the Filipino citizen's apartment on Homs Street, in the Africano neighborhood, where a search was conducted this morning by the scientific police. The same person, with whom the victim had exchanged messages for a long time on the night of the disappearance, has been identified by the police and taken to the police station for questioning. He could be arrested soon.
On the evening of her disappearance, Ilaria had left home in a hurry to meet someone. Her parents, who live in Terni, said she had taken nothing with her, not even her personal belongings, while her phone had been on for some time and someone had even responded to some messages. It is not clear if it was really her. After that, no trace of the young Albanian woman. (A2 Televizion)
