"Laval police have arrested a 53-year-old man in connection with the 2004 death of Nadia Panarello.
After a 15-year investigation, police announced on Thursday that they had a break in the case. Ernesto Fera was arrested on July 11 and is facing charges of first-degree murder. He was Panarello’s husband at the time of her death.
The 38-year-old mother of two was found dead inside her home in Laval’s Vimont neighbourhood on Feb. 12, 2004. When Panarello failed to make it to her workplace that day, her employees contacted her family. It was Panarello’s mother who found her body. At the time, police determined that a violent struggle had taken place, but there were no signs of forced entry at the home. While an autopsy later determined she had been stabbed, a weapon was never recovered."
