Crowd at the Cathedral of Castelfranco Veneto for the funeral of Vanessa Ballan, the 26-year-old pregnant woman killed by the Kosovar Bujar Fardaj. The body was in a white coffin on which were placed two bouquets of white tulips and roses sent by Vanessa's family and partner , Nicola Scapinello.

The ceremony was attended by the undersecretary of Justice, Andrea Ostellari, the president of the Veneto government and council, Luca Zaia and Roberto Ciambetti.

Ballan was killed with eight stab wounds with a 20 centimeter blade, one of which hit the heart and two the lungs . The person who killed her was a 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 having blackmailed her by leveraging some videos taken during moments of intimacy between the two , who had a romantic relationship that lasted some time and was interrupted by her 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. And it is precisely on these aspects that the reports that the magistrates of the Treviso Prosecutor's Office will send to the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Justice are being finalized with the reasons why the complaint was not followed by any precautionary measures. The reports will be sent via the Venice General Prosecutor's Office to the Ministry's inspectorate, and also as a response to the direct question to Minister Nordio presented in the Senate by Northern League member Gian Marco Centinaio.

The prosecutor denied that "nothing was done in the case", recalling that a search of Fardaj's house was immediately ordered. But in the absence of evidence on the intimidating messages sent by the man to Vanessa (Ballan had deleted them from his mobile phone) the prosecutors' assessment of the case was "non-urgent".

« We have a lot of anger because it shouldn't have happened. It must not happen again. At this point I wonder what the laws are for ", said a colleague from the supermarket where Ballan worked outside the church: "We - she says - were afraid when Fardaj entered the shop, I didn't like his look".

"What has happened is too great, it is too far beyond any pessimistic prediction", the words of the bishop of Treviso Michele Tomasi in the homily. «There is no reason in the world that justifies this act, this violence. There never is. It is certainly not present in the case of Vanessa - he added - and of the creature she was carrying in her womb". For the prelate «there is no meaning in his brutal killing. This is evil. And we cannot, we do not have the right, to come to terms with evil." Monsignor Tomasi asked for «silence from outcry and curiosity. Silence of memory and the most negative emotions. Silence of prayer that invokes the consolation of the victims and the conversion of the violent. Certainly not the silence of the search for justice - he pointed out - nor the silence in the commitment to a civilization that rejects violence against women in words, deeds and deeds , and which finally overcomes the madness of wanting to possess a person, or of wanting to violently determine their choices and decisions."
