There is a suspect in the death of Giovanna "Jenny" Cantarero, the 27-year-old shot dead in front of the bakery where she worked in Misterbianco, in the province of Catania.
It is a man who had an affair with the victim (the investigators specify that he is not the ex, with whom the woman had had a child) and has not been found since last night.
The young woman was waiting for her mother in the street, after the work shift, when she was murdered with a few blows to the face. A young colleague witnessed the murder: in a state of shock, she was listened to for hours in the Provincial Carabinieri Command of Catania. She said Cantarero was approached by a man with a covered face who pointed the gun to her head and then fired repeatedly and ran away, perhaps aboard a scooter.
At first, the Catania Public Prosecutor underlined the absence of "privileged leads", because - it is now explained - there were "no conditions for doing so" and "trying to acquire as much information as possible". In the end, the investigators took the lead that leads to the personal relationships of the woman and the "stormy" relationship with the man now under investigation for murder. Strict confidentiality is maintained on the investigations.
Tickets and flowers were placed at the scene of the crime. "Since last night - said the mayor - we have been constantly following the evolution of the story that saw the dramatic killing of a woman in the Lineri district. Although the outlines of the fact are not yet confirmed and the investigations are underway, we are in the face of a sad and painful episode, a cause of great concern for our entire community. We have suspended - he announced - for today the Christmas events scheduled in the area. The Municipal Administration is alongside the police to shed light on what happened ".
