Up-and-coming Italian actor
Domenico Diele was to appear before an investigating magistrate
on Monday for the confirmation of his arrest for aggravated
vehicular homicide after he hit and killed 48-year-old Ilaria
Dilillo early Saturday while driving under the effects of drugs.
The 32-year-old film and television star was said to be
returning from a party in Matera when he ran into Dilillo, who
was riding a moped near the Montecorvino Pugliano motorway exit
near Salerno.
She was on her way home after spending an evening with
friends.
The accident occurred around 2 am local time.
Diele subsequently tested positive for drugs and it also
emerged that his driving licence had been suspended in 2016
following a positive drugs test.
Diele was in the Salerno area for filming for Marco Ponti's
new film 'Una vita spericolata' (A dangerous life).
