A decaying corpse was found inside a black bag in the waters of the Po, in Occhiobello (Rovigo).
The Prosecutor's Office of Rovigo investigates for murder.
At the moment it has not been possible to 'give an identity to the victim, nor to establish whether the body is that of a woman, as it would seem based on the first investigations.
Just as the indiscretion that the corpse has mutilations has not been confirmed.
The Carabinieri are investigating the fact.
The discovery of the bag, surfaced, in the floodplain of Santa Maria Maddallena.
it took place yesterday morning, but only today did the judicial authority release the news.
The Rovigo carabinieri alerted all the commands and police stations upstream of the Po with respect to the place of discovery.
The most probable hypothesis, in fact, is that the person may have been killed in a more distant area than Occhiobello;
then the current of the river would have dragged the bag downstream.
In this sense, every element that may have connection with unresolved crimes in recent times, not necessarily occurring in areas close to the Po, will have to be analyzed by the investigators. It was a citizen who warned the military about the bag that appeared on the surface of the water in the floodplain. , set partly on the embankment.
The corpse, not yet extracted from the bag until this morning, is currently in the Rovigo hospital for examinations by pathologists.
