Verona, killed his wife with insulin to collect the policy: nurse arrested after 2 years

A 35-year-old man, Nadir Rossi, was arrested in Verona on charges of killing his wife, Jessica Dalla Chiara, 32. The femicide dates back to June 24, 2024. The couple had a young daughter.

As reported on the website of the newspaper L'Arena, the suspect, who worked as a nurse until his dismissal a year ago, would have given the woman insulin via drip for non-therapeutic purposes, causing her to have a hypoglycaemic crisis, first at home and subsequently in the hospital, where the woman had been admitted. When she died, Dalla Chiara had been discharged for two days.

The man would also have collected the compensation for the death of his wife, who had taken out a life insurance policy two years earlier. Rossi was fired from the University Hospital of Verona last year, not due to the murder investigation but due to an internal disciplinary procedure.

The investigation is coordinated by the Verona prosecutor's office, which requested and obtained from the investigating judge Carola Musio the precautionary custody order in prison, carried out this morning by the policemen of the Flying Squad of the Verona Police Headquarters. The woman, herself a nurse, died after being hospitalized for a month.

The man, interviewed by local newspapers a few days after the woman's death, had remembered Jessica as "the one great love" of his life, with whom he had "a bond that had blossomed since high school", when the two had gotten engaged.
