New hearing in Milan in the trial of Alessandro Impagnatiello, the barman who confessed to the murder of his girlfriend Giulia Tramontano , killed with 37 stab wounds while she was waiting for their baby for 7 months.
Today the image of Giulia's body was shown in court and he burst into tears . He started sobbing and from that moment on he never looked up again, remaining with his head bowed in his hands . Impagnatiello is in a "cage", he had already sobbed before, during the testimony of the Carabinieri marshal who reconstructed the murder.
Meanwhile, new details emerge in favor of the premeditation of the crime. On February 5 last year, while he was at Malpensa airport waiting for Giulia who was returning from Naples, Impagnatiello was researching chloroform on his smartphone , bought online under a false name a few days later and then found in the cellar.
The detail emerged during the testimony of a Carabinieri marshal heard in court this morning. The investigator, in his reconstruction, explained that the man, between December 2022 and January and May 2023, as shown by the analysis of his phone, had searched for "pregnant rat poison", "pregnant rat poison" and "man rat poison". The witness explained the research from January 7 last year, calling it "fundamental": "He viewed a page to understand how much rat poison was needed to kill a person."
The outcome of the autopsy on Giulia and Thiago, the marshal recalled, gave a positive result for rat poison , substances of which two sachets were found and seized in the murderer's backpack.
Before the hearing, Giulia's parents remembered the girl with posts on Instagram.
«Our love, today we will talk about you, about how you were torn from life, about how with all your strength you sought the truth, at the cost of your splendid life. You always know for us our immensely Giulia and Thiago our angel. We will fight for you to the end", wrote his mother Loredana .
