A BRITISH mum who was stabbed to death at her home in Italy had been missing for days before her body was found.<\/p>\n
Cops have launched a manhunt for Michele Faiers' partner, the prime suspect in her death, who they fear may have fled abroad.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Michele, 66, was reportedly found stabbed in her bedroom by a friend who had grown concerned after not hearing from her for several days.<\/p>\n
The mother-of-two was reportedly found lying in a pool of blood, and after hearing her friend's screams, neighbours alerted the police.<\/p>\n
They rushed to the scene in the Verratti district where they found the 66-year-old's body,\u00a0La Repubblica\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n
Michele was apparently dressed only in her underwear and covered by a white sheet when she was found, according to MailOnline.<\/p>\n
Local cops near the town in eastern Italy said she likely died at least three days ago and confirmed that her partner, 74-year-old Michael Whitbread, is the prime suspect.<\/p>\n Colonel Alceo Greco added that he may have already fled the country.<\/p>\n Cops are searching for the man, who may have fled in the family car, a white Jeep Compass.<\/p>\n The British expats, who ran Divers Down scuba school in Torquay, Devon, had retired before moving to Italy in 2015.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Former neighbours revealed in a heartbreaking statement that just weeks before her death, Michele had visited the UK for her daughter's wedding.<\/p>\n Neighbours at the couple's old home in Torquay told The Sun they remembered her as a "lovely person".<\/p>\n According to The Times, there were no signs of a struggle and police are investigating whether she was killed while sleeping.<\/p>\n Her former neighbours told The Sun they are struggling to believe that Whitbread was involved in her death.<\/p>\n "I find it very hard to believe he was involved, they seemed such a lovely couple. I can\u2019t imagine he would have done that.<\/p>\n "I wouldn\u2019t have thought he had that in him. I just can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n "He was the nicest guy you could ever meet."<\/p>\n Michele made her last post on Instagram\u00a0on October 25, just days before she died.<\/p>\n She shared three pictures of a sunset taken from the terrace of her house in Italy, which her partner liked.<\/p>\n Other photos she shared online over the years showed the pair smiling and apparently having fun on trips, with friends and with family.<\/p>\n Michele had been living with Whitbread in the countryside in Casoli, Chieti for the past three years.<\/p>\n The pair were described as private by locals who said they would often see them taking walks with their three\u00a0dogs.<\/p>\n Back in September, another\u00a0British woman was stabbed to death\u00a0as a pensioner was arrested for her murder.<\/p>\n The victim, 76, was found dead in the village of Orihuela Costa in Costa Blanca\u00a0Spain.<\/p>\n While another Brit died in front of her horrified husband while on a dream\u00a0cycling holiday\u00a0abroad.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old hit her head on a "particularly impervious" part of the bike path along\u00a0Lake Garda, Italy.<\/p>\n<\/picture>TWISTER HORROR <\/span><\/p>\n
