Woman killed in Aosta, the judges: "The victim did not mock Falloni"

Elena Raluca Serban had not mocked Gabriel Falloni for a sexual dysfunction that would have prevented him from consuming intercourse. The accused "invented" the circumstance, imagining that "reporting a provocative conduct of the injured party could somehow mitigate his responsibility for what he committed". This is what the president of the Court of Assizes of Aosta , Judge Eugenio Gramola writes, in the 66 pages in which he motivates the sentence of life imprisonment for the 36-year-old from Sorso (Sassari), confessed to the murder of the woman of Romanian origin killed at the age of 32, on April 17, 2021, in an apartment she had rented in Aosta.

An escort, according to the judges, has " every interest in satisfying her clients , and certainly not in mocking them if problems arise, with the more than likely result of never seeing them again".

It is also not possible that the woman, after being strangled, took a knife in her hand to threaten to call the police and hit him in the arm. The coroner confirmed that after the "armlock maneuver" the victim was "essentially unconscious". She was thus dragged into the bathroom , where she was unable to "react in any way to the stab wounds " of Falloni.

For this reason, the aggravating circumstance of the futile reasons was not recognized, contested by the Aosta prosecutor given the reaction to the mockery, which however the Court considers a " clumsy defense attempt ".
