(ANSA) - Como, October 9 - An elderly care-home resident in
Como has been placed under investigation on suspicion of
murdering an older fellow resident by choking her with rubber
gloves and then planting the gloves among the personal effects
of the victim's mentally disabled roommate.
The 78-year-old woman, who lives in the Divina Provvidenza
home with her husband, allegedly strangled 91-year-old Dolores
De Bernardi in her bed before allegedly trying to frame the
94-year-old roommate, police said.
The alleged motive is not yet known but police suspect it may
have been a quarrel over trivial matters.
