The death of 26-year-old Roberta Bertacchi is being investigated, found hanged yesterday morning on the balcony of her home in Casarano, in the province of Lecce, with a scarf from the town's football team tied to a shelter. For hours, his partner, believed to be close to the ultras circles of Casarano football, was interviewed by the police as a person informed of the facts. There was a mess in the house and investigators found some broken objects.
According to initial information, the 26-year-old had a heated argument with her 35-year-old boyfriend the evening before she was found dead . The argument apparently took place in a room in Casarano in the presence of some witnesses who are now being heard by the investigators of the Carabinieri operational unit to whom the investigating magistrate Maria Rosaria Petrolo assigned the investigation. Yesterday the parents of the 26-year-old were also heard, who confirmed that she was being treated for some pathologies but in the last period she was well enough to decide to move to Casarano and rent a house.
At the moment there are no suspects or hypotheses of crime in the investigation file and the most popular lead would be that of incitement to suicide. A thesis also supported by the fact that both from the forensic inspection and from the report drawn up by the 118 health workers nothing emerged that could suggest a hypothesis other than that of suicide , a hypothesis also supported by the position of the body, the type of knots with which the scarf was tied and the shape of the shelter which was found damaged. An autopsy will be performed in the next few hours.
