The 52-year-old son of an 80-year-old
woman found stabbed to death Wednesday has confessed to
murdering her, police said Friday.
The woman, Maria Spadini, was found dead in her home near Verona
Wednesday morning with two kitchen knives sticking out of her
back.
Police said she had undergone a "ferocious" attack as shown by
the numerous stab wounds inflicted on various parts of her body.
She was found on the floor between the kitchen door and the
living room door, in the town of Bovolone.
Her 52-year-old son, an unemployed man who had returned to live
with her a while ago, initially told police he found her like
that.
