Italian police have arrested a banker who admitted to the murder of an adult film actress, whose butchered body parts were discovered in waste sacks on a rural roadway.
According to authorities, the 26-year-old Carol Maltesi, whose stage name was Charlotte Angie, was beaten to death with a hammer. On Tuesday, police detained Davide Fontana, a 43-year-old banker and food blogger, for aggravated voluntary murder and destruction and concealment of a corpse.
During questioning, Fontana reportedly admitted to killing Angie in January before keeping her corpse in the freezer and then getting rid of it over a month later by chopping it up, setting the body parts on fire, and then bagging them up.
Angie’s dismembered body was found in four black sacks on a ridge near the village of Palline, in the northern Italian region of Lombardy, on March 20.
She was only identified when a fan of her adult content came forward, after recognising her distinctive tattoos from a police appeal for information.
Angie lived in Rescaldina, a municipality in Lombardy's Metropolitan City of Milan. She had worked as a sales assistant at a perfume shop until the COVID lockdowns forced her to switch paths. She started uploading adult content to OnlyFans, which served as her entry into the world of porn.
Angie was expected to perform at Luxy Erotik Festival 2 at Luxy Club Milano from March 11 -13, but she failed to show up. One of her fans became suspicious of her absence and called law enforcement and the media - leading to the victim's identification.
Fontana reportedly lived a few doors down from Angie, in Rescaldina. He had apparently managed to get away for a while because he kept Angie's phone after killing her and replied to her messages.
Fontana's neighbours claimed that there was a continuous coming and going of young, beautiful women at his residence. It is believed he may have pretended to be a photographer and offered his service to the victim.
