After hours of searching and a manhunt, Christian Persico, 36, has been located and arrested for the murder of his partner Tina Sgarbini, the 47-year-old woman found dead this morning in her home in Montecorvino Rovella, in the Salerno area. The man fled after the tragedy and disappeared but was later found in the San Pietro area.
The murder apparently occurred during an argument between the two. It was the woman's partner's relatives who contacted the Carabinieri: they couldn't contact the couple, so they turned to the military.
The community of the Campania town is in shock: "We stand with Tina's family. Everyone knew her as Tina, Mrs. Assunta, mother of three children, one of whom is 24, from a previous relationship," Mayor Martino D'Onofrio commented. "We have never received any reports from the couple," he continued. "We are shocked by what happened."
