A 28-year-old man confessed to being the perpetrator of the homicide and was sentenced to ten years in prison.

Furthermore, more than a month ago and after a series of raids in the area, two teenagers were arrested for having attacked the woman prior to her murder. One was charged with a crime of aggravated personal injury in real repetition and a crime of reception. The other, for a crime of aggravated personal injury.
