(ANSA) - ROME, APR 17 - A 21-year-old Italian man of Egyptian origin has agreed to be extradited from France to Italy to face charges of murdering a 22-year-old Frenchwoman near Aosta at the start of the month, legal sources said Wednesday.
    Speaking at a Grenoble prison, Sohaib Teima, the 21-year-old from Fermo, arrested in Lyon last Wednesday and "seriously suspected", according to the Aosta public prosecutor's office, of the murder of his companion, the Frenchwoman Auriane Nathalie Laisne (22), who was stabbed to death and then found dead on 5 April in a small ruined church above La Salle, in the Aosta Valley, gave his consent to his extradition to Italy.
    On Thursday Teima, who is resident in Grenoble, will appear before the judges of the 'chambre de l'instruction' of the Grenoble Court of Appeal, who will have to rule on his surrender after a European arrest warrant issued by Italy. A decision is expected within seven days. (ANSA).
