Impagnatiello: psychiatric evaluation begins, he killed his pregnant girlfriend with 37 stab wounds

The Court of Assizes of Milan has appointed the forensic psychiatrist Pietro Ciliberti and the medical examiner Gabriele Rocca to carry out the psychiatric assessment of Alessandro Impagnatiello , on trial for the multi-aggravated murder of his girlfriend Giulia Tramontano, who was seven months pregnant .

A watershed session in the trial against the barman . The exam will start on July 11th. The experts are called to ascertain whether the former barman was capable of understanding and wanting at the time of the facts or whether his capacity had in some way "waned". In that case they will also have to evaluate the possible social danger of the accused.

The experts have 90 days and must file the report by October 15th. The prosecutor's office has appointed the forensic psychiatrist Ilaria Rossetti as a consultant, while the civil lawyer Giovanni Cacciapuoti has appointed the psychiatrists Salvatore De Feo and Diana Galletta.

We will return to the courtroom on October 21st for the examination of the experts, while the discussion and sentence are expected on October 28th and November 4th .

The defenders Giulia Geradini and Samanta Barbaglia had filed a report in recent weeks according to which Impagnatiello, who killed Giulia with 37 stab wounds in their home in Senago, in the Milan area, would suffer from a "paranoid personality disorder" with "narcissistic traits » .

The psychiatric report, underlined the defender Samanta Barbaglia, " could also be valid for the purpose of granting extenuating circumstances, not only of the capacity of understanding and will ".

"We are sure that Mr. Impagnatiello is lying ," said the Tramontano family's lawyer, Giovanni Cacciapuoti, at the end of the hearing. "We are certain that this report will dispel any doubts regarding the circumstances in which he was and is perfectly capable of understanding and wanting ." It should be underlined that according to what has been ascertained, Impagnatiello tried for a long time to poison Giulia Tramontano before killing her with 37 stab wounds . Therefore, according to the prosecution, we certainly cannot speak of a rape.

The man is accused of multi-aggravated voluntary homicide, concealment of a corpse and procuring an abortion.
