A 60-year-old woman was found murdered in her home on the Roman coast. Her son raised the alarm
A quiet beach town shaken by tragedy
The calm of Fregene, a seaside town north of Rome, has been shattered by a gruesome murder. A 60-year-old woman was found stabbed to death in her home. The body was discovered by her son, who immediately alerted the authorities.
She lived alone in one section of a two-family villa, which she shared with her son and his partner. Despite the close proximity, no one noticed anything suspicious until it was too late.
The body and the first chilling clues
Police confirmed that the woman suffered multiple stab wounds. As investigators searched the area, they discovered another disturbing detail: her car had been abandoned, found off-road with the window left open, not far from the villa.
The car was seized for forensic analysis, as authorities search for any evidence—fingerprints, DNA, or other clues—that might lead to the killer.
A killing at home: open questions remain
Why was this woman killed, and by whom? Was it someone she knew and trusted? Or did a stranger manage to infiltrate the house unnoticed?
Investigators are working through the woman’s final hours, gathering testimonies from relatives and neighbors, while exploring domestic, emotional, and criminal motives. Nothing has been ruled out.
A community in shock
Locals describe Fregene as a peaceful town where violent crime is nearly unheard of. News of this murder has left residents stunned and fearful.
Police are currently exploring all leads, but some fear this could be another case of femicide, part of a rising and alarming trend across Italy.
Waiting for answers
The victim’s body has been taken for autopsy, which will determine the exact cause and timing of death. The hope is that forensics can help close in on the killer.
As the investigation continues, the small coastal town remains suspended in tension, awaiting clarity—and justice.
