The discovery of the body

This morning, in Viterbo, an autopsy was performed on the body of Abdelkrim Cheheb, a 36-year-old man of Moroccan origins, found lifeless in the woods of Monte Fogliano. The discovery occurred last Saturday, when the Carabinieri of Vetralla, thanks to a tip-off, discovered the man's body lying on the ground in the thick woods, between Vetralla and San Martino al Cimino.

The crime scene immediately attracted the attention of investigators, who immediately began investigations.

The investigations and the first leads

The investigations, conducted by Public Prosecutor Massimiliano Siddi of the Viterbo prosecutor's office, focused on the probable lead of drug trafficking. The area where the crime took place was already under observation by the police, as it had recently become a new theater for drug dealing in the wooded areas of Tuscia. The investigators are examining various elements, including the testimonies of some individuals who could be involved in the affair, either as direct perpetrators or as simple witnesses.

The evidence and possible developments

In addition, investigators are analyzing footage from surveillance cameras in the streets adjacent to the site of the discovery. This footage could provide crucial clues to reconstruct the victim's final moments and identify any suspects. Another element that could prove crucial is the content of the cell phone found on Cheheb, which could contain information useful for the investigation. The local community is waiting for developments, while the authorities continue to work tirelessly to shed light on this tragic event.
