With his head split a few steps from home, the killer arrested: "Passionate reasons"

Murder in Bologna: the victim is a Ukrainian citizen, Roman Matvieiev.

The 40-year-old man was found yesterday a few steps from the front door of his apartment with a deep wound to his head. He was taken to the Maggiore Hospital and underwent emergency surgery following a wound to his belly resulting in the removal of his spleen and a skull fracture. But he didn't make it.

The police arrested a 38-year-old compatriot following an activity coordinated by the deputy prosecutor, Michele Martorelli, and conducted by the Flying Squad officers in the Pilastro area. At the crime scene - an apartment on the first floor of number 125 via Ferrarese on the outskirts of Bologna - forensic personnel had detected some latent fingerprints attributable to him. The evidence from the video surveillance images is also overwhelming, which first immortalized the arrival, holding a blunt object, in the building where the victim lived, then the exit, after a few minutes, with some obvious traces of blood along one arm.

Based on the information gathered, the public prosecutor issued a detention order on charges of murder. Traced in the Pilastro area and taken to the police station, after the relevant searches the 38-year-old was subjected to interrogation and, having been arrested, taken to prison: the motive for the murder could be traced back to passionate reasons.
