There is a man strongly suspected in the three murders of women in Rome
on Thursday morning.
His name is
Giandavide De Pau and he is 51 years old.
Based on what is learned, in his past also investigations related to organized crime in Rome and in particular on the Camorra-style clan of the Sienese.
The killer killed Martha Castano, a 65-year-old Colombian, and two Asian girls using a stiletto-type blade.
He was questioned in the police headquarters.
He is a person with drug addiction problems
.
He was allegedly tracked down and blocked at dawn
in the Primavalle district of Rome
.
In his past criminal record perhaps also linked to the use of drugs.
Among the precedents of Giandavide De Pau, the man suspected of the triple feminicide in Rome, there is also an accusation of sexual violence.
For the 51-year-old, according to what emerges from judicial investigative documents, there are also two hospitalizations in the Montelupo Fiorentino psychiatric hospital.
Hospitalizations occurred in 2008 and 2011.
"The situation is under strict control and we believe we can say that the community can return to being calmer because there will be no other events connected to these tragic events".
This was stated by the questore of Rome, Mario Della Cioppa in a note relating to the murders in Rome.
The name of Giandavide De Pau, the man strongly suspected of being the perpetrator of the triple femicide, was arrived at after a report received by the police from a close relative of his.
In fact, the man would have called him suggesting that he had done something serious.
In the light of this communication and knowing De Pau's "attendances", the relative, perhaps frightened, alerted the police.
The turning point in the investigation into the triple homicide
would also be linked to some testimonies collected by the police in the last few hours.
In particular, the elements provided by two Cuban citizens and a third person would have directed the investigative activity.
