Why It Matters
The body of Mikel Rroku, a 55-year-old Albanian pizza chef, was found in his apartment in Via Verolengo in Turin after residents reported an unbearable smell. Initially it was thought of suicide or death from loneliness, but the autopsy revealed that he had been killed by a hammer blow to the head.
It took exactly three months to solve the mystery in via Verolengo, in Turin: that day the residents of number 185/A had called 112 at 10 in the morning, nauseated by the unbearable smell coming from Mikel Rroku's apartment. The body of the pizza chef, a 55-year-old of Albanian origin, had been there for days with his head smashed. And in these hours the police have found the alleged perpetrators of that mysterious death: they are the wife and her new partner, 45 and 52 years old, both arrested for premeditated and aggravated murder.
When they entered the apartment on the second and top floor of the building together with the firefighters, the soldiers of the Vallette station had thought of suicide or a tragedy of loneliness. But the first analyzes by the medical examiner had revealed the serious injuries to the head, which were later confirmed by the autopsy: Rroku was killed with a hammer. For this reason, responsibility passed to the carabinieri of the investigative unit of the provincial command, who seized the apartment and opened a murder investigation, coordinated by prosecutor Lea Lamonaca.
Now the investigation has reached a turning point with the arrest of his wife and her partner, both Italian. According to the prosecution, they organized and carried out the crime together, surprising Rroku in his small apartment in the Lucento district.
