A 69-year-old man was killed at Cutro, in the province of Crotone, on 21 September 2024, according to the case brought against his wife and their son. His body has never been found; investigators believe it was thrown into the waters of the river Tacina, in the locality of Steccato di Cutro. On 28 September 2024 his wife went to the carabinieri station at Cutro to report him missing, saying he had disappeared a week earlier, on 21 September. From that point he appeared to have vanished. Carabinieri investigated for a full year, using telephone and environmental intercepts on several of the victim's relatives and interviewing many people, until evidence began to emerge that led them to believe his wife and their son were involved in his killing on that date. Both were entered on the register of suspects in December 2025. Carabinieri RIS officers and police divers from Messina carried out several searches to recover the body, which has not been located. Investigators documented what they describe as repeated attempts by the pair to divert the inquiry: reporting the disappearance a week after it was said to have happened, agreeing between themselves on the accounts they would give to investigators, buying several litres of bleach in order, according to the accusation, to clean the scene, and giving contradictory statements that were found on checking to be untrue. On 30 September 2026 carabinieri arrested the victim's wife, aged 60, and their son, aged 28, both from Cutro, executing an order of pre-trial detention in prison issued by the investigating judge of Crotone at the request of the local public prosecutor. Both are accused of homicide and of concealing a corpse, acting jointly.
