Marco Cintelli , the 50-year-old investigated for the death of his sister , 46, has confessed.

It was he who killed Carla Cintelli in Signa, in the province of Florence. His defender reported it: "The murder took place at the height of a dispute and it was not his intention to kill her", added the lawyer Dario Fiorentino. During the validation hearing " Cintelli appeared not lucid and not very present. to himself ", the words of the lawyer" so much so that the investigating magistrate has prepared an expert opinion to assess the imputability and the ability to participate in the trial, the social dangerousness and compatibility with the prison regime ".

Judge Fabio Gugliotta did not validate the arrest "because - the defender still reports - the arrest was carried out by the carabinieri outside the permitted cases". While waiting to know the psychiatric assessments of the expert, he ordered the custody in prison. "I am satisfied with the psychiatric report ordered by the judge - affirms the lawyer Fiorentino -. From the first contact with my client I had expressed serious doubts about his mental conditions . I trust that he will soon be able to leave prison to deal with his mental problems".

The carabinieri hypothesize a dispute over economic issues , the woman was unemployed and perhaps she had accumulated debts. Her brother, a few days ago, joined her in the house of her parents, who had died a few years ago and where she had remained to live, and probably killed her by suffocating her. Then he hid until his wife went to the carabinieri to report his disappearance. They found him in a shed near the house where he lives with his family.

Then the discovery of the corpse of Carla Cintelli, suddenly unavailable too.
