Carried out the investigation into the murder of Rossella Nappini, the 52-year-old nurse stabbed to death yesterday in the entrance hall of the building in via Allievo, in the Primavalle area in Rome where she lived with her elderly mother.

Today a 45-year-old man of Moroccan nationality was arrested who in the past had a relationship with the victim, a relationship whose conclusion he had never accepted is the hypothesis of the investigator.

The man was stopped by the men of the Flying Squad who interviewed some suspects at the police station yesterday. The weapon used to kill the San Filippo Neri nurse has not yet been found.

The officers stopped him during the night at his home, not far from the scene of the crime, and transferred him to the Regina Coeli prison. The aggravating circumstance of premeditation was also contested.
