"He wanted to leave me and I killed him"/ New details from the

A serious crime has shocked Italian and Albanian public opinion. Mark Samson, 23, admitted in his testimony before the investigating judge that he stabbed his ex-girlfriend, Ilaria Sula, to death after discovering that she had started talking to someone else.

"I went back to the room, I saw Ilarian talking to someone on the phone. He told me he had opened a profile on Tinder... I couldn't stand it," the young man said during questioning at the "Regina Coeli" prison, in the presence of prosecutor Maria Perna and his lawyer. For five hours, he confessed how, after a fight, he had taken the knife and stabbed her three times in the throat, while she had turned her back.

According to Samson's testimony, their relationship lasted for a year and a half, but broke down on March 19, when Ilaria decided to break up with him. "I couldn't live without her," he said during the investigation. But on the critical day, March 26, after an argument and the discovery of messages with another boy, everything ended in tragedy.

After the murder, Ilaria's lifeless body was wrapped in carpets and rags and stuffed into a suitcase. Samson then threw it into a ravine in Capranica Prenestina. Meanwhile, for several days he sent messages to Ilaria's friends, pretending that she was still alive.

Investigators suspect the young man may have had help from others in covering up the crime. His mother, Nors Manlapaz, a 40-year-old who had worked her entire life as a cleaner and nanny, admitted to authorities that she helped clean up the crime scene. "I wanted to help my son," she said, admitting to wiping up blood in the room and removing evidence.

Authorities have charged Samson with premeditated murder with aggravating circumstances due to the personal relationship and concealment of the body. Meanwhile, his mother is under investigation for complicity in the crime.
