The body of a tourist was found this morning in a hotel room in Mattarana, a hamlet of La Spezia. Her husband, who had escaped from the facility and was tracked down and stopped in Lunigiana with his car, was arrested for the murder .

The woman was killed with a cutting weapon or blunt object . The body was found by the hotel staff who had to tidy up the room, with the police, medical examiner and magistrate on duty on site.

The victim, originally from Cremona, was 53 years old and her name was Roberta Cominotti . Suspicions immediately focused on her husband, Alfredo Zenucchi, a 57-year-old from Bergamo .

There had been no news of the couple for two weeks , they had been in the hotel where the crime occurred since last Friday. Roberta Cominotti's cousin had published an appeal on Facebook three days ago, asking anyone with information to come forward : «The phones – we read in the post – no longer receive calls and WhatsApp doesn't work either. We are very worried. Help us."
