A 38-year-old Pakistani man
was arrested Friday on suspicion of murdering his 28-year-old
pregnant wife at Versciaco in Alto Adige on Thursday.
The man was named as Mustafa Zeeshan.
The victim, Fatima Zeeshan, was probably punched and kicked
to death, police said after examining the body and finding
severe bruising all over it.
An autopsy will be performed on Saturday.
The man did not confess despite spending the night in a
Carabinieri barracks.
He is refusing to talk to investigators.
Police said there was "a great weight of evidence" against
him.
They also said he was a flight risk.
Italy has seen a spate of femicides recently.
