The 21-year-old Italian suspected of murdering the girl found dead in the woods near Aosta has been arrested in Lyon. The young man is already on trial for acts of violence against the victim and for these accusations, he will have to appear before the Grenoble Correctional Court in a few weeks. The young man had been wanted in France and Italy since the end of March for “violation of judicial control”. The Grenoble Prosecutor’s Office has also opened an investigation into the murder of the girl found dead in Aosta. According to the autopsy, the young woman, a twenty-two-year-old French woman, was stabbed to death.
The victim was 22 years old and lived in France, near Lyon. Some of her relatives, who arrived in Aosta, recognized her. From the autopsy – conducted by the Turin pathologist Roberto Testi – it emerged that the young woman died following wounds caused by several stab wounds to the neck and abdomen. In particular, the blows near her throat caused a fatal hemorrhage. Her death could date back to the period between the end of March and the first days of April: it is difficult to indicate the exact date, the relatively low temperatures of those days preserved her corpse well. The body was found in the former small church in the Equilivaz hamlet of La Salle, a bush village that has been abandoned for years.
The girl, who was touring Europe, wearing a beige sweatshirt and a pair of leggings, was curled up on the ground in a fetal position. Next to her is a pack of marshmallows and scattered rubbish. Various blood stains around. According to the autopsy, the blows were inflicted from the front. These are not clear wounds, the hypothesis is that it was a crime of impulse. The girl was then dragged into the former church, where she was found last Friday by a local person who was taking a walk.

A witness told La Stampa: “Tuesday morning, April 2, those two were here in front. They were walking, they were on foot. She: very beautiful, but suffering, emaciated. He with black curls and an olive complexion. They were dressed like two goths, all in dark. Like those kids who venerate death. I thought: two vampires. And I also thought something else, for which now I feel very ashamed: she was so pale that she looked like a corpse. I can’t no longer to sleep knowing what happened.” Then he added: “They seemed like two of those kids who cut themselves and get wounds. Emo. Dark. I don’t know how to define them. Suffering kids. They told me they had arrived from the Swiss border. They were looking for a large supermarket to do their shopping. And then they wanted to go camping in the mountains. He always spoke. He expressed himself in good Italian, even if he didn’t sound Italian. He was much younger than her, I’m not saying underage but almost. He didn’t seem like a violent guy, far from it. He didn’t even look like someone with a drug problem.”
