Murder operator 118, escorting the ex being persecuted by a stalker
The murder by Massimo Melis, the operator of the green cross killed by a gunshot while he was in his car in Turin, remains shrouded in mystery. But just over 24 hours after the discovery of the 52-year-old’s body, – reads the Corriere della Sera – a trail emerges that could lead to a turning point in the investigation. Patrizia, the ex-girlfriend, with whom the victim had remained on excellent terms, revealed to investigators that, in recent times, a man she had dated several years ago would have repeatedly annoyed her. It would not be a matter of physical aggression, but of behaviors that would have made her “feel uncomfortable”.
The woman, however, – continues the Corriere – never denounced him for stalking and had chosen not to tell his family anything. Instead, it seems she had confided in Melis, the friend who spent almost every day in her family’s bar, on the corner of Corso Vercelli and Via Gottardo. She was “frightened” and, probably to protect her, on Sunday afternoon Massimo accompanied her to the grocery store and then escorted her to the landing of the house, a few tens of meters away from Patrizia’s bar. He wanted to defend her and instead was killed in the cockpit of his car, parked on the other side of the road. For the moment this is a hypothesis that would lead to a man, just over 60 years old and with various criminal records.
