New details emerge from the investigation into the murder of 22-year-old Albanian Ilaria Sula and the testimony of the perpetrator, her ex-boyfriend, Mark Samson.
According to Italian media, Samson has again stated to investigators that he took the suitcase with Ilaria's dead body out of the house himself and put it in his car after killing her in his bedroom on March 26.
But, unlike other times, in addition to insisting that he loaded the suitcase into the car himself, he also mentions a witness, a person who is said to have seen him pulling the suitcase containing Ilaria Sula's body.
This statement has raised new questions for investigators as to why, despite the great media hype, this witness has not yet appeared at the police to testify.
"I loaded the suitcase into the car myself, I'm strong, put me to the test. Another person saw me," the 23-year-old writes in his letter from the cell where he is being held and handed over to Rome prosecutors by his lawyers.
Investigators in the case, led by Rome prosecutor Giuseppe Cascini, have found that Samson repeatedly lied during the investigation. He hid the fact that he had failed his studies, that he had only passed one exam in architecture, and lied about the role of his mother, who, according to police records, helped him clean up the blood after the crime.
He also attempted to divert the investigation by using the victim's phone to simulate false movements in Naples and to create the idea that Ilaria was alive and had met a friend known online.
In his first statements to the police and prosecutors, Samson denied his full involvement, while now, urged by his lawyers, he has begun to partially cooperate with justice.
The 23-year-old Filipino claims that he did not throw the phone into a well, as he had previously stated, but that the cellphone was hidden under the mattress in his parents' room, where his mother had placed it, and was found by the police.
