It would therefore be murder with premeditation. Giulia's sister reports in a deposition that the girl had problems with food and milk that seemed to taste strange, as well as tomatoes. Giulia also complained of a smell bleach who felt and had very strong stomach pains for which he drank many herbal teas but without finding relief.
