Her name was Aurora Livoli and she was 19 years old. This is who the woman found dead, probably murdered, in a courtyard between via Paolo Paruta and via Padova on Monday morning in Milan is. It was identified thanks to the dissemination of images extrapolated from video surveillance cameras. It was her adoptive parents who recognized her. They were the ones who showed up on Tuesday afternoon at the Monte San Biagio barracks (Latina) to verify, and then confirm, that it was their daughter.
Woman found dead in a courtyard in Milan: the police publish the ‘photo’ to try to identify her
Who was Aurora Livoli
Aurora Livoli was born in Rome and lived in the province of Latina. Last November 4th she left home and her family reported her missing. The last telephone contact between her and her relatives occurred on the morning of November 26, when she told them that she was well and that she did not intend to return home. On that occasion the girl had not provided any indication of her whereabouts.
The video that immortalizes her while she enters with a man
The Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of Milan, led by Colonel Antonio Coppola and Lieutenant Colonel Fabio Rufino, in agreement with the prosecutor’s office, at 2.30 pm on Tuesday had decided to publish a frame of a video which filmed the woman as she entered the courtyard of the condominium in the company of a man with the hope of being able to identify her. A move that proved successful.
A job, that of identification, which had proved difficult because the corpse had no documents, wallet or cell phone on it. And the victim had no scars or tattoos; and his fingerprints had not found a match with those stored in the databases. The nineteen-year-old was found half-naked, without underwear, with her trousers slightly lowered and with a jacket resting on her bare chest. Next to the body, underwear, a shirt and a pack of cigarettes.
The investigations to try to find the alleged killer
Aurora Livoli’s latest video was filmed by a private video surveillance camera located along Via Paruta, at the entrance to the condominium. The electronic eye spots the nineteen-year-old as she arrives from Via Cesare Arici in the company of a man. They walk in single file on the small sidewalk, she in front and he behind. It doesn’t appear that the man is threatening her in any way. The same camera, about an hour later, in the middle of the night between Sunday and Monday, films the man walking away alone.
He is the number one suspect. Aurora Livoli’s body, found around 8.30 am by the caretaker of number 74, had obvious signs of bruising on her neck and bruises on her face. Signs that suggest an assault, perhaps sexual violence, and strangulation. A hypothesis that can only be clarified by the autopsy, ordered by the prosecutor Antonio Pansa, who has opened a case for voluntary homicide. Now the investigation by the homicide detectives will be able to start again from one more certainty: the name of the victim.
