Lorena Isceri femicide investigation

Overview

Following the death of 45-year-old Lorena Isceri on the A1 motorway near Florence, investigations revealed she was alive when thrown from a viaduct in Barberino di Mugello. Authorities are treating the case as kidnapping for premeditated murder and aggravated femicide. Evidence indicated the perpetrator, Federico Vella, had surveilled the victim for three days before the attack. Vella committed suicide by jumping from the same viaduct.

Autopsy results and crime reconstructions have provided further harrowing details. Investigators determined that Isceri had been kidnapped and held in the trunk of Vella’s car. Before being thrown from the viaduct, she managed to place several emergency calls to her mother and the police, stating, ‘Federico has kidnapped me, he wants to kill me.’

In the aftermath, the Mayor of Squinzano, Mario Pede, declared municipal mourning. Funeral services were held at the Maria Regina church in Squinzano, attended by local officials and hundreds of citizens. Her father, Franco Isceri, called on political leaders to implement preventative measures, noting that while the perpetrator had shown prior signs of instability, the incident was a premeditated crime. To honor Isceri's memory and advocate against gender-based violence, a candlelight procession was scheduled for Friday evening.
