(ANSA) - Palagonia, September 1 - Mercedes Ibanez, who was
found dead at home with her husband at the weekend, may have
been raped before being killed, a judicial source said on
Tuesday following preliminary results of an autopsy performed
overnight.
The source said the autopsy revealed "just clues, although
they are various, that don't give certainties".
Final autopsy results will be filed with the prosecutor's
office within 60 days.
Ibanez, 70, and her husband, Vincenzo Solano, 68, were
discovered dead in their home in Palagonia near Catania on
Sunday.
