Yet another femicide that fills the pages of Italian news: the husband kills Annarita Morelli, 72, with a gunshot
Yet another episode of femicide shocks a small town in Lazio. Yet another story of domestic violence in which a woman is the scapegoat. Fonte Nuova is shocked by the loss of Annarita Morelli72 years old, known for her love of animals and the management of a community where she protected cats.
This morning, Annarita died from a gunshot to the chest fired by her husband, Domenico Ossoli, 73 years old. The man, a former driver, went to a tobacconist in the village declaring:
“I killed her, call the police.”
The shopkeeper found Annarita lifeless in her car and immediately alerted the authorities.
Annarita, who is actively involved in animal protection, was last seen at the veterinary center with a prescription for flea and tick medication for one of her cats. A resident reported hearing a gunshot around 9 a.m. The coroner confirmed that the woman died from a single gunshot to the chest.
Domenico Ossolitaken to the barracks, handed over the murder weapon, regularly registered for sporting purposes, and confessed to the crime committed. According to initial reconstructions, the motive seems to be linked to the separation that the man had not accepted. The community of Fonte Nuova is mourning the loss of a beloved and respected woman, whose commitment to the defense of animals will remain in everyone’s heart. Her last battle dates back to a few days ago, when she organized a march against the extermination of cats with crossbow arrows.
This sad episode underlines once again the urgency of addressing and preventing such cruel phenomena. femicide is one of the most serious forms of gender-based violence and is a violation of fundamental human rights. Addressing it requires a collective commitment from institutions, civil society and the international community to promote gender equality and protect women from all forms of violence. We need to say enough loudly and unanimously.
