Italy: Accused of killing his Colombian partner, he travels 700 km before turning himself in

Marco Panichi, 53, turned himself in to the Carabinieri in Avezzano after travelling about 700 kilometres from Lombardy and telling them, “I killed my partner.” Officers found Grey Noralba Sanmartin Villalba, a 36-year-old Colombian woman, dead in their apartment in Vergiate, with at least 15 stab wounds and numerous injuries to her neck. Panichi says he acted in self-defence during an argument about old photographs, but investigators have not confirmed his account. The victim lived in Ancona and had two minor children.
