On the morning of Saturday 25 May, shortly before ending up in his car like that, Onorato met someone
The mystery of the dead man found in a car on the outskirts of Palermo. There are no signs of violence on the body of Angelo Onorato, no struggle before his death. Not even the autopsy on the 55-year-old architect, husband of MEP Francesca Donato, clarifies the doubts about his strange demise.
Onorato was found in his car, with a cable tie tight around the neck. The suicide thesis, so far, would be the most accredited, but there are still too many questions. The Prosecutor’s investigation remains open for murder given the evidently “bizarre” elements for a common suicide.
The investigations are currently focused on an appointment that Onorato had with a “mysterious friend” before his death. MEP Donato told the police that in the previous months her husband had mentioned problems at work, but they had not explored the matter further. Despite the prosecutor’s hypotheses, Onorato’s family continues to maintain that it was murder.
On the morning of Saturday 25 May, shortly before ending up in his car like that, Onorato met a “friend” of which nothing is yet known, in a bar on Viale Strasburgo in Palermo. The owner of the place, interviewed by ‘Repubblica’, declared: “I had never seen the person with whom Onorato had had a coffee. I saw it that morning and now I’m shocked. I don’t think it’s about what they say: he was always smiling.”
Investigators are trying to establish whether the meeting took place before or after Onorato accompanied his brother-in-law to Punta Raisi airport. It is certain that Angelo Onorato has arrived alone in the place where it was found. Cameras in the area captured his vehicle as it approached, but the exact spot where it was later found has no further images from other cameras.
Onorato may have had an appointment right in that unsupervised area with someone who arrived on foot and then left. Along with the Range Rover with the architect’s body, however, there are no traces of other cars filmed stopping at that point.
