She disappeared Thursday evening without a trace, but the searches - taken immediately - make us fear the worst.

From the 23 years old Ukrainian Yana Maliko , resident in Castiglione delle Stiviere, in the Mantua area, hasn't had any news for days and the Carabinieri are working on the hypothesis that she was killed by her ex-companion Dumitru Stratan , a 33-year-old from Moldova . For him, arrested and taken to Mantua prison , the charges are those of premeditated voluntary homicide and concealment of a body .

The girl's body is not found and the man, from his cell, continues to remain silent. Initially, the research was concentrated in a natural lake located in the countryside north of Castiglione delle Stiviere, on the border with the province of Brescia. Despite the difficulties in reconstructing what happened, the investigators have no doubts about the crime committed by the young man . Suspicions would have immediately fallen on the man because some cameras would have filmed him as he walked away from the house with a black bag over his shoulder , in which he may have wrapped the body of the 23-year-old.

Dumitru and Yana's relationship began when she started working in a village café , the Event coffee, owned by her ex-boyfriend's sister. He seems to have no steady job and sometimes lend a hand in the club. After dating, the story would have ended due to his jealousy , which exploded when he discovered that the young woman had started dating another. Yana, at the end of the relationship, would have left the apartment she shared with Dumitru to go to the adjacent one.

The crime allegedly took place inside one of the two apartments, perhaps at the height of yet another quarrel . What he used as a weapon is still unclear; there has been talk of a knife but the confirmation will come after the discovery of the body.
