In the movie there is a detail: The 35 -year -old, in addition to his backpack, has the woman’s purse in hand. But to give the definitive certainty to the police and carabinieri investigators that Chamila was killed is another detail. Before climbing a metro wagon, De Maria calls the mother Annamaria. « I ask you for forgiveness, I made a cock … ». Then he does the same with his sister -in -law, his brother’s wife. Two calls made with the victim’s mobile phone. The last before abandoning the cell phone in a basket where he will be found hours later by an ATM employee who hears him playing without stopping.
