The body of a woman was found in the trunk of a car parked in Piano di Sorrento (Naples), in a condominium area in via San Massimo.
Anna Scala, 56, was stabbed by a man dressed in black as she opened the tailgate of her car, witnesses said. After the crime, the man fled on his scooter.
The woman was taking groceries from the trunk of the car when he approached her to stab her repeatedly with a knife in an area of public housing.
The body, upon examination by the coroner, had several stab wounds on the back and was lying in the trunk of the car. A local resident reported the murder with a phone call to 911.
The victim had reported her ex for stalking, the police believe they are on the trail of the killer.
«We were already in the garage to check the work in progress in the building when we heard heartbreaking screams, we thought of an argument, then the screams became even more heartbreaking and at that point we decided to go and see. The scene we found ourselves in front of was terrible», is the story of a landlord.
«We went for a run – continues the woman reconstructing the subsequent moments -. When we arrived we saw something scary. This woman stabbed inside the hood of the car. There was a slipper on the ground, his face was covered perhaps in an attempt to defend himself, it was terrible. Whoever called us told us that they heard screams and entering the garage they saw the body but did not see who did it... Instead, a lady from the building opposite saw a man running out, dressed in black, trousers and long-sleeved black shirt, with a fisherman's hat, a dagger in his hand stained with running blood».
