Authorities in Pollena Trocchia, located in the Napoletano region, are investigating the discovery of two women found dead inside a construction site. The bodies were discovered around 00:45 in a building under construction on viale Italia.
Details of the Discovery
The victims were found on the basement floor of the building. According to a preliminary reconstruction, the women may have fallen from two different elevator floors.
The operation involved the operational section of the Torre del Greco Company and the Tenenza di Cercola. The scientific investigation section of the investigative nucleus from the Torre Annunziata group of the Carabinieri arrived on-site to assist.
Investigation into Double Homicide
While investigations are ongoing to clarify the exact dynamics of the event, investigators believe a double homicide is the most probable lead. The hypothesis of a double suicide has been effectively excluded.
