A young woman was found dead last Friday in a ruined former church in the mountains of the Aosta Valley in a fresh femicide amid a spate of murderous violence against women in Italy.
The woman, described as being in her early 20s or even younger and probably foreign, had a deep cut in her neck.
The young woman was wearing a pair of leggings and a sweatshirt, ANSA sources said. Next to her was a packet of marshmallows.
Blood stains and drag marks were visible on the ground, a sign that the body had been carried inside the former chapel.
The Aosta public prosecutor's office has opened a murder file on the discovery of the girl's body in the ruined church in the hamlet of Equilivaz, above La Salle.
