Certain coincidences seem to do their best to make us believe in destiny and so Monday 27 May, exactly one year after the death of Giulia Tramontano, Alessandro Impagnatiello will be in court (in the trial without cameras), before the Milan Assize Court, to tell how and because he killed his partner who was pregnant with their son Thiago. For the first time, after the confession before the investigators and the spontaneous declarations in the first hearing of the trial, the accused will answer the questions of the deputy prosecutor Letizia Mannella and the prosecutor Alessia Menegazzo.
An appointment, not only emotionally demanding for the former barman and the 29-year-old’s family, but which also has a procedural weight: he can decide to hide in lies, ‘I don’t remember’ or even accusations, or he can make a full, lucid, which would remove the possibility of a request for a psychiatric assessment as a line of defence. The man who killed Giulia with 37 stab woundsthe bold 30-year-old who for months he gave the woman rat poison and ammonia who was about to make him a father, the accused who watches the trial with his eyes lowered, will come out of the cage to answer to the charges of aggravated murder (due to futile motives, the obligation of cohabitation, cruelty and premeditation), concealment of a corpse and interruption of pregnancy for which she risks life imprisonment.
Last January 18th his uncertain voice could barely be heard in the large courtroom on the ground floor of the Palace of Justice. “There are many people to whom I owe an apology, but I would like to address Giulia and her family. There are no correct words to say, I face something that will forever remain inexplicable due to its inhumanity; a gesture that has left me shocked and lost” . In a pause to take a breath, Franco and Chiara Tramontano, the victim’s father and sister, took the exit door, leaving mother Loredana and Mario (Giulia’s brother) with the burden of new words.
“That day I destroyed the life of Giulia and our son, that day I also left because if I’m here talking it doesn’t mean I’m alive. I don’t live anymore. I don’t ask for these apologies to be accepted, because I’m feeling every day what it means to lose a child. I can ask for forgiveness, I only ask that these apologies can be heard. And this is the opportunity I have to do it morning. As long as I’m here forever I’ll owe all these people an apology.” But Alessandro Impagnatiello’s apologies do not make inroads into a family that will also remember Giulia Tramontano on Monday (a commemoration ceremony is planned for the evening in Senago).
A family demanding life imprisonment and the truth about what happened on the evening of May 27, 2023 in the couple’s apartment in via Novella when Alessandro stabbed Giulia, seven months pregnant, 37 times, then tried to burn her in the tub from the bathroom. He moved her body to her garage, here he again tried to set her on fire with petrol, then hid the victim, wrapped in plastic bags, in a ravine behind the garage in Viale Monterosa.
A crime that he tried to hide by sending messages from his partner’s cell phone when she was already lifeless and which he may have premeditated for some time: as early as December 2022 he carried out research via the internet on the effects of rat poison, poison made to be ingested for months to the unaware victim and in such quantity that it also reaches the fetus. Always online she tried to figure out how to get rid of the body and clean everything up without leaving a trace. In the courtroom you will have to explain Giulia Tramontano’s last days, the betrayal, the lies, the dynamics of a murder that she confessed to but which she never really explained.
