He killed three women in Rome, serial killer hypothesis

Serial killer alarm in Rome. Three women were killed within hours and within a radius of a few kilometers, in the Prati district. The first discovery was made on Thursday morning, around 11, in a building in via Augusto Riboty. The doorman of the condominium found the body of a Chinese woman, around 45 years of age, on a landing on the second floor of the building, with other traces of blood next to it. The police intervened on the spot and after opening the door of the adjacent house they found inside the body of a second, younger Chinese woman, also murdered. The hypothesis is that both victims were addicted to prostitution.

At 13, shortly after the discovery of the double homicide, the police were called for a third crime in via Durazzo 38, not even a kilometer away from the first. The victim, a 65-year-old Colombian woman, Marta Castano, also a prostitute, found herself in her own apartment and was killed with a stab wound to the chest. The woman was lying on the bed with a deep wound in her chest. His sister would have found the body.

After the three finds, the investigators suspect it is a serial killer because the weapon used in the first two crimes could also be a cutting weapon, it is assumed with a long blade, but there is still no confirmation on this point. Meanwhile, the cameras in the area and the telephone records of the three victims are being inspected to reconstruct the contacts with the “clients” in the hours preceding the murder.

“Everyone knew there was a brothel here. I saw people arriving at 2, 3 in the morning. They called and opened the door for him », he told Republic a lady who lives in the building where Marta Castano was found killed.

«I had just finished a phone call, it must have been 10.35 maybe 10.40. I opened the door to go to the bar, the doorman called me and told me that on the landing just above mine there was a dead naked woman on the ground. I went up and saw her, completely naked, full of blood all around». This is instead the story given to Adnkronos by the lawyer who works in the studio on the ground floor of via Augusto Roboty 28. No one would have heard screams in the building on Thursday morning. “The two victims I had never seen before. I’ve been there for years and I saw that woman for the first time today, dead. But both had been the subject of condominium meetings», the lawyer continues, «there was a coming and going of people at all hours and it also happened at night that, not knowing where to call the intercom, they rang inside, waking up the tenants».
