Castelfranco Veneto is preparing for the last embrace of Vanessa Ballan : today, at 2.30 pm, hundreds of people will greet the 26-year-old killed on her doorstep in Riese Pio X in the province of Treviso.

Regional mourning with the occasion throughout the Veneto , as announced by president Luca Zaia and as already occurred on 5 December for the funeral of Giulia Cecchettin.

Vanessa was killed with eight stab wounds inflicted with a 20 centimeter blade, one of which hit the heart and two the lungs; deep blows that caused death in a few minutes .

The one who killed her was Bujar Fandaj, the 41-year-old building contractor from Altivole arrested shortly after the murder and who had been reported by the victim at the end of last October for stalking and threats for blackmailing her by taking advantage of some videos taken during moments of intimacy between the two, who had a romantic relationship that lasted for some time and was interrupted by the young woman's will last summer .

A complaint, that of the young mother who was expecting her second child, which had not resulted in any action from the prosecutor's office.

Today, while waiting for the funeral, Vanessa's family, through their lawyer, has communicated their will «not to allow the presence of videographers and photographers from newspapers inside the Cathedral of Castelfranco Veneto during the funeral». «My clients - adds the lawyer - take this opportunity to thank the many people who, in these difficult days, have expressed their deep closeness and solidarity. We thank the press for the understanding they wish to show at this tragic moment."
