(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 28 - Filippo Turetta admitted to killing
his ex-girlfriend Giulia Cecchettin in a statement he gave to a
preliminary investigations judge at Verona prison on Tuesday,
the young student's lawyer Giovanni Caruso said.
Cecchettin's murder on November 11 has shocked Italy, in part
because of the age of the victim and the alleged murderer and
because of the brutality of the killing.
Her body was not found until week after the homicide, confirming
she was dead and had not gone missing.
Turetta, who took flight after the killing and was arrested near
Leipzig in Germany on November 19, made the confession in a
"spontaneous statement" before the judge.
The Padua university biomedical engineering student wept during
Tuesday's interrogation and used the right to remain silent when
asked questions, sources said. (ANSA).
