Stefania Camboni, an Italian woman found dead at home at the upmarket Roman beach resort of Fregene Thursday morning, was killed with 15 stab wounds, including to the abdomen and a deep stab to the throat, police said.
The Civitavecchia Prosecutor's Office, led by Alberto Liguori, is proceeding for homicide.
The investigations have revealed that the woman most likely knew the killer: there are no signs of forced entry or missing objects or money from the house.
The woman's son, who found the body, and his partner were questioned.
The prosecutor's office is checking whether the family had financial problems or disputes related to these.
