Mario Landolfi Confesses to Killing Two Women Near Naples

Prosecutors in Nola ordered pretrial detention pending murder charges.

Overview

  • Carabinieri detained the 48-year-old in custody after he admitted the two killings in the presence of prosecutor Martina Salvati.
  • The victims were a 29-year-old from the Caserta area and a 49-year-old of Ukrainian origin, both found in an abandoned construction site in Pollena Trocchia with fatal head injuries.
  • Investigators say he picked up both women near a bus stop on Via Gianturco in Naples and argued over higher fees before the attacks.
  • Witnesses saw him enter the site with a woman and leave alone, and a photo of his Opel Corsa license plate led police to identify and arrest him at home.
  • Landolfi, a married and unemployed father with prior drug convictions who reported recent cocaine use, requested house arrest, which was denied as the Nola prosecutor’s office coordinates the case.
