Emanuele De Maria committed suicide by jumping from the Milan Cathedral

Now the entire area is completely cordoned off. The body is covered with a sheet while waiting for the necessary scientific findings to be made. It is on the basis of the numerous tattoos on his body that the investigators of the Flying Squad, even if there is still no official recognition, believe that Emanuele De Maria is the man who committed suicide by throwing himself from the terraces of the Milan Cathedral in the afternoon. He was detained for a 2016 femicide committed in Castel Volturno , in the province of Caserta.

Who was Emanuele De Maria and why was he wanted?

De Maria 's suicide has shaken up a Sunday of shopping in the main street in the center of Milan . Many passers-by are stopping near the barriers in Corso Vittorio Emanuele to take videos and photos, intrigued by the large number of police cars that have been positioned in such a way as to cover the man's body, still on the ground after the identification, waiting for it to be taken away after the investigations. " They were looking for him everywhere and in the end he was right in the Duomo , " observed a man approaching the place where the suicide occurred. Many passers-by are asking the police what happened, while the officers try to keep the curious away.

The investigations and searches for the missing colleague

Meanwhile, the Carabinieri of Milan, with the help of the firefighters , continue to search throughout the Parco Nord of Milan for Chamila Wijesuriyauna , the 50-year-old woman of Sri Lankan origin who disappeared on Friday afternoon, a colleague of the escapee Emanuele De Maria who committed suicide in the afternoon by throwing himself from the Duomo of Milan. De Maria and Chamila were filmed on Friday afternoon while walking in the park and then the man, alone, was later filmed by the images of the cameras near the Bignami metro stop . The woman's family categorically exclude that it could have been a voluntary absence and Chamila 's phone was found in a bin near the metro stop, but no traces useful for the search appear to have emerged from the device.
