Rome, Jul. 7 (LaPresse) – The Civitavecchia Prosecutor’s Office has requested an immediate trial for Claudio Agostino Carlomagno over the femicide of his wife, Federica Torzullo — which took place in Anguillara Sabazia, in the province of Rome, last January — with the aggravating circumstances of premeditation and the marital relationship, as well as charges of concealment and desecration of a corpse. As explained in a statement signed by Civitavecchia Chief Prosecutor Alberto Liguori, the Civitavecchia Public Prosecutor’s Office questioned the suspect on two separate occasions — three, including the hearing before the investigating judge — “to allow him to provide an alternative interpretation of the evidence that progressively emerged during the preliminary investigation.” During the questioning, Carlomagno “gave his account, confessing to the impulsive killing of Federica Torzullo, aggravated by the marital relationship, for reasons linked to the loss of their youngest son, but not to femicide, namely the elimination of the victim because she was unwavering in a decision she had already made: she no longer intended to maintain their relationship, and between New Year’s Day and Epiphany Federica acted on that decision, accelerating the timeline and setting the date for her new life as a separated woman. The evidence gathered after the discovery of Federica’s body also rules out an impulsive act and supports premeditation: Carlomagno’s comfort zone and the delaying tactics he adopted (‘I will find alternative accommodation’) were running out of time. The ultimatum he received,” the statement explains, “left no room for discussion: he needed to stop hesitating by eliminating what had become a real obstacle (Federica was serious about her new life plan), which would have required him to leave Federica and the marital home while risking sole custody of their youngest son being awarded to the mother.” The forensic examinations carried out (autopsy, forensic and biological analyses) place the murder between the evening of Jan. 8 and the early hours of Jan. 9, 2026. Carlomagno is currently being held in pre-trial detention, a measure that remains in force and against which no appeal has been filed before the Rome Review Court.
