Florence prosecutors and police are leading the inquiry. Investigators are still determining whether Isceri died from the fall or was killed prior to being thrown. The couple’s recent relationship history and Vella’s social-media activity in the weeks before the incident are also under review. Vella had posted a somber message online after the breakup.

The deaths are being examined within a pattern of suspected femicides in Italy, where women are alleged to have been killed by current or former partners.
