It was the mother of Guiliana B., aged 63, residing in the same building a few floors higher, who alerted the firefighters around 3 p.m. on Sunday October 29, 2023. Having not heard from her daughter, Guiliana B., for several days, the sixty-year-old had gone to the door of her apartment. Locked from the inside, she would not have been able to open the accommodation thanks to the duplicate keys she had. She then allegedly tried to call her daughter on the phone. She did not get a response but reportedly heard her phone ringing through the door. Worried and convinced that her daughter was inside, she decided to contact the firefighters in order to break into the couple’s home. The firefighters, quickly on site, then managed to enter through a sliding door leading outside, from the neighbors’ balcony. This is how they discovered the macabre scene, two bloody and half-naked bodieslying on the bed. A bloody knife with a blade of around twenty centimeters was also found a few centimeters further.
