A 40-year-old woman,
Antonella Lettieri, was found dead on Thursday in her home in
Cirò Marina, in the southern region of Calabria.
The body of the woman, a shop assistant in a relative's store
who was single and lived alone, was found in a pool of blood.
Carabinieri police are investigating the case, which could be
the latest in a long series of recent femicides in Italy.
The home was found in disarray.
Sources said that the woman was killed late on Wednesday by a
blow with a blunt object.
