Carabinieri officers from the Como provincial command yesterday evening executed a precautionary custody order against Carmine Civitillo, 76, the ex-husband of Patrizia Monteleone, the 64-year-old woman found dead last September 27 in the swimming pool of his home in Buccinigo, a hamlet of Erba (Como).
According to investigators, Monteleone died of suffocation before being thrown into the water.
It was the ex-husband who raised the alarm that Sunday, claiming to have left the house early to head towards Lecco, to have returned late in the morning and to have found the wheelchair in which the woman moved due to a disability next to the swimming pool, and his ex-wife in the water.
