In a crime described by heinous Italian media carried out against the backdrop of the "Corona" epidemic, an Italian nurse killed a doctor in a tragic way, after "a mistaken belief" that she had passed on to him the fatal disease.

The British newspaper "Sun" reported that the 28-year-old nurse, Antonio de Pass, and Dr. Lorena Quaranta, 27, were working together in a local hospital in Messina, southern Italy.

She added that the Italian police received a call from De Pace, during which he confessed to the killing of Doctor Quaranta.

After he killed his girlfriend, de Pace tried to commit suicide, but his life was saved in hospital.

The young nurse admitted to the prosecutor the crime he committed, saying: "I killed her because she transmitted the Corona virus to me," but the Corona tests conducted on the nurse and the doctor stated that the two people were not carriers of the virus.
