The Italian kept her mother's corpse in the freezer

The woman kept the corpse of her mother in her own home refrigerator, while regularly receiving the pension of a dead old woman, Italian tabloids report.

Such a terrible thing hit the police desk in the small town of Borgomanero, located in the Novara region. This terrible story "surfaced" after the residents of one of the houses called an ambulance Tiziana Devecchi, a 62-year-old woman who did not feel well and could not open the door, which was locked from the inside.

According to Italian law, if doctors are called to the address where the door is locked, when it is cracked, firefighters and the municipal police must be present.

After the ambulance took the pensioner to the hospital of the Holy Trinity, the carabinieri and firefighters decided to check her apartment in order to make sure that the health of the 62-year-old lady was not in danger. They looked into Devecca’s refrigerator for spoiled food, but found there that they did not expect to see: having opened a home freezer, they found the body of an elderly old woman wrapped in a plastic bag!

According to experts, the corpse of the mother of Titian, Paola Puricelli (Paola Puricelli), "stored" in the freezer for at least four years.

Continuing a thorough search of the apartment, police and firefighters discovered a diary of a 52-year-old woman, where she spoke in detail about her mother's sudden death in 2010, as well as her decision to put her body in a home freezer.

The following words were written in Titian's handwriting: "Mom, we will always be together!" Familiar women could not believe what had happened. They claimed they were certain that Titian’s mother was alive and well, but she was bedridden.

Neighbors Devecca also say that she repeatedly mentioned her mother in a conversation with them in the present tense, so the inhabitants of the house, where this unpleasant incident happened, could not even imagine for a moment that the old woman was dead.

Titian and her mother moved to a small town with a population of 20 thousand inhabitants back in 2005, but since then they have barely made ends meet. Paola’s daughter did not have a permanent job, so the family lived more than modestly on an old woman’s pension and on unemployment benefits.

The pensioner rarely left the apartment, so her disappearance did not cause any suspicion among the neighbors.

Currently, Borgomanero police are investigating all the details of the crime. Carabinieri also try to establish his motive. It would seem that Titian made a frightening decision, being unable to part with her mother, however, according to preliminary results, the woman kept the body of an 82-year-old woman in order to receive her pension, which she did successfully for four years. However, doctors do not exclude the possibility that a woman is sick with a mental disorder, which could be the real reason for her terrible act.

The body of the deceased woman will be subject to autopsy, the results of which will help establish whether her death was natural or violent. In the meantime, the woman is undergoing treatment. Soon she will be charged with fraud and concealment of a corpse.
