Overview
- Cemetery workers discovered the decapitation during a scheduled transfer on Monday in Strozza after noticing loose screws and a misaligned coffin.
- Bergamo prosecutors opened a case for profanation and theft of human remains, which carries up to seven years in prison, and ordered a new autopsy at Papa Giovanni Hospital.
- Forensic teams reported fresh silicone sealing and holes or cuts in the wooden lid that point to a recent, deliberate break‑in involving more than one person.
- Carabinieri are checking public and private cameras because the cemetery system deletes footage after one week, which complicates efforts to pin down the timing.
- Motive remains unclear, as the family’s lawyer rejects a ransom theory and suggests an obsessive actor, while the ex‑partner accused in the October 2025 killing remains in custody.
