The numerous messages between the policewoman who died from a gunshot and her alleged murderer are being examined by investigators
Dozens of WhatsApp messages found on the security guard’s phone Sofia Stefani, sent by Giampiero Gualandi two days before his murder, dated 14 May. The sentences reported in the messages show the state of mind of the former brigade commander, who spoke of exhaustion, desperation and unbearable pressure. On the day of death between 10am and 3pm numerous telephone calls were also traced between the alleged murderer and the victim. Investigators are now trying to reconstruct the relationship between the two lovers, who used to cancel conversations.
The relationship between Gualandi and Stefani was confirmed by the defense lawyer, Claudio Benenati, who declared that the policewoman had made pressing requests to resume relationships abruptly interrupted by the man. These are the words of the former brigade commander:
“I have no energy, I can’t stand this pressure anymore. Right now I couldn’t even kiss you, let alone anything else… I’m really desperate. I don’t eat, I don’t sleep, I’m exhausted…”.
Stefani’s professional situation may have affected the relationship. Sofia’s contract, on trial in Anzola, had not received confirmation from the commander Silvia Fiorini and the 33-year-old had turned to Gualandi to prepare an appeal. Wrong choice perhaps given the bad light the man enjoyed among the other command agents and a hypothetical cause of friction between the two.
The autopsy on the policewoman will be carried out on Wednesday 22 May. Gualandi, currently in prison, defended himself by claiming that the lethal shot was fired accidentally during a scuffle in the Anzola local police command office. The prosecution contests voluntary homicide aggravated by futile motives and the emotional relationship. The defense has already announced the appeal to the Review.
There are still many details to be clarified on this affair which has shaken the community of Anzola Emilia. Investigators are working to shed light on all aspects of this story, which appears to have complex and intricate implications.
The truth about what happened that day may still be far away, but the legal process will have to take its course to give justice to the memory of Sofia Stefani.
