Bodybuilding-obsessed boy, 17, killed woman, 42, after luring her on date as he ‘wanted to know what murder felt like’
A TEEN boy obsessed with bodybuilding has brutally murdered a woman after luring him on a date.
The teenager, reportedly a fan of mixed martial (MMA), confessed to killing Maria Campai, 42, and said it was his “desire to see what it feels like to kill.”
Maria was found dead inside the garden of an abandoned house in Viadana, northeast of Parma, Italy.
The body showed signs of strangulation and blows to the face and head.
Cops believe Maria and the teenager had sex before, but a row broke out after she refused to comply with his requests.
They suspect he then knocked her out with several dumbbell blows to the face before strangling her.
Traces of blood were found in his family’s garage, which the teenager had turned into his personal gym.
Italian media have since dubbed it the “garage of horrors”.
Cops believe the suspect killed her there before dragging her body to the spot where it was found.
Maria is said to have met the suspect on an online dating platform.
She turned up to their first meeting with a friend and went with the teenager to the garage after the friend left.
On 19 September, she told her loved ones she is going for a job interview, but never got back home.
Authorities launched a search operation the next day after her sister filed a missing persons report.
Hours of CCTV footage and interviews with several witnesses led cops to the teen suspect.
He was arrested a week later and reportedly told the police where the body was hidden.
The teen boy’s browsing history revealed he searched for “which parts of the face to hit to inflict the most damage” and “how to neutralise an opponent using MMA techniques”.
He even searched “how to strangle a person with bare hands”.
After allegedly killing Maria, the teenager went about his usual routine, including going to the technical institute he attends.
He is now being held at a young offender institution in Milan on suspicion of murder with intent and of concealment of a corpse.
A police investigation is ongoing.
Graham Potter hilariously breaks silence on Man Utd talks and ‘being linked with Napoli and Stoke in the same week’
GRAHAM POTTER addressed speculation linking him with the top job at Manchester United with a hilarious quip.
Potter, 49, has been a free agent in the past 18 months since his dismissal by Chelsea but continues to be touted as a potential successor to under-fire United boss Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford is becoming increasingly untenable after Sunday’s 3-0 thumping by Tottenham in another hapless display by the Red Devils.
And the ex-Brighton manager broke his silence amid all the continuous transfer talk.
Potter told Sky Sports when asked if he’d enjoy the challenge of managing United: “I am sitting here enjoying the challenge of answering your questions.”
The ex-Chelsea boss was less coy when asked about reports suggesting he was approached by Man Utd chiefs during the summer before deciding to hold on to Ten Hag after his FA Cup triumph.
The ex-Swansea boss, though, responded to the intense transfer mill, which has linked him with a move to Stoke and Napoli “in the same week”, with a cheeky joke.
Potter added: “I take what the media say with a pinch of salt.
“I am the only coach in world football to be linked with Stoke City and Napoli in the same week.
“I have had lots of conversations with lots of people and I think out of respect to those people it’s best those are kept private.”

Potter, though, doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to return to the dugout after 12 years of non-stop work for the likes of Ostersunds, Swansea, Brighton and Chelsea.
The Solihull tactician admitted he deliberately decided to step away from the limelight and focus on his family.
Potter recently admitted: “I spent some time with the family, [to] connect with them after a 12-year journey which has started in the fourth tier of Swedish football and ends in the last eight of the Champions League.”
