A 50-year-old ceramics maker
charged with murdering his 46-year-old wife on Monday night
hanged himself in his prison cell.
The man, Giuseppe Randazzo, had been in prison since August 13
on suspicion of murdering Catya Di Stefano near Caltagirone in
Sicily.
The couple were in the process of separating.
Earlier on Monday a preliminary investigations judge upheld
Randazzo's arrest on suspicion of murder.
Caltagirone prosecutors have opened a probe into the potter's
death.
An autopsy has been ordered.
Randazzo allegedly killed Di Stefano after a row.
She was determined to go ahead with the separation while he was
trying to patch things up, police said.
