An Italian man, Leopoldo Scalici, 41, has been arrested for allegedly murdering a Nigerian prostitute, identified as Benedicta and dumping her body in a ditch.
According to Italian website, Modena Today, Scalici approached Benedicta on the streets of Modena Nord for sex over the weekend.
Benedicta was reportedly killed after the duo had had sexual intercourse and an argument had broken out, which led to Scalici hitting the Nigerian prostitute with a heavy object on the face and head.
It was however speculated that Scalici hit Benedicta because he wasn’t satisfied sexually.
Italian police have detained Scalici, after he voluntarily confessed to the crime.
An autopsy has been scheduled.
