The shocking words of the husband of the woman killed in Fontenuova: he persecuted her and did not want to give her separation
Domenico Ossoli, seventy-two years old, is said to have said: “I’d rather kill her, but I won’t give her separation” about the wife Annarita Morelli before shooting and killing her with a 7.65 caliber Beretta pistol. The femicide occurred on Tuesday, August 6, in via Palombarese, in Fonte Nuova. The couple, who were going through a separation phase, had their first court hearing in March. Ossoli had begged his wife to reconsider, while the judge had ordered the payment of 300 euros per month in maintenance to his wife, an amount that the man did not intend to pay.
After hours of interrogation, Ossoli was arrested for voluntary homicide aggravated by premeditation. The investigators also interviewed the couple’s three children, who spoke of the threats their father made to their mother, even though no formal complaints had ever been filed.
Bones he had left Umbria, where he lived, after being kicked out of the house by his wife because of an infidelity. He had brought with him the gun he used for sporting purposes, kept in a purse, and determined to harm her, he reached Fontenuova, where they had lived together for forty years. Ossoli knew his wife’s movements well, having followed and monitored her with a GPS installed in his car.
Around 9 a.m., Annarita, driving her red Fiat Panda, had just left the vet with a prescription for a parasite treatment for one of the many cats she cared for with dedication. Ossoli shot her in the chest. Some residents heard the shot and a woman told reporters:
“I heard the shot, no one screamed and after a quarter of an hour I saw her dead.”
Immediately afterward, the man entered a bar-tobacconist’s declaring that he had killed his wife and that he was waiting for the Carabinieri. The Carabinieri of the Mentana station and the Monterotondo Company intervened on the scene. Taken to the barracks, Ossoli confessed to the femicide in front of the magistrate of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Tivoli, claiming that he had only wanted to wound her legs. The Prosecutor’s Office described Ossoli as a man who exercised a “obsessive control over wife, obsessed with the idea of having to pay her child support.”
