An Italian nurse, Antonio De Pace, has strangled his student doctor girlfriend, Lorena Quaranta, to death after suspecting she infected him with Coronavirus.
The 28-year-old year old after committing the crime called the police to report that he murdered his girlfriend.
According to DailyMail, upon arrival at the apartment, the police found the girlfriend dead while De Pace was found on the floor, having cut his wrists.
However, the medics were able to save his life at the hospital but his girlfriend died.
De Pace told investigators that he murdered her after ‘she gave him Covid-19.’
The young couple was said to have been one of the hands working in a local hospital in Messina, Sicily, to help during the coronavirus crisis.
Late Lorena will be awarded her medical degree posthumously as a tribute, Messina University says.
The tests later carried out on the couple showed that neither Lorena or De Pace are both positive to the virus.
