Mobile phone in hand, he filmed the two bodies Taulant Malaj, the 45-year-old baker who killed his 16-year-old daughter in the night between Saturday and Sunday in Torremaggiore (Foggia) and 51-year-old Massimo De Santis, the man he believed had a relationship with his wife, 39-year-old Tefta.
The woman, also badly hit, was on the ground. Viva. In the video , Malaj is clearly heard screaming the name of her other son , the terrified 5-year-old boy who saved himself by hiding behind the sofa. "I'm not done yet," he cried.
«You see, I killed them all – he says in the video sent via chat to friends -. I have already forgiven my wife once, he is the second. I cut him off, I killed all three, my daughter too, see here.'
Malaj was obsessed with his wife's alleged affair with her neighbor . So much so that he spied on her movements and what he believed to be meetings with De Santis through the cameras in the house. He told it himself in front of the magistrates. He was certain, he said, that his wife had been having an extramarital affair that had been going on for more than a year.
«My wife had already admitted to having an affair with Massimo – is her version -. He had apologized to me, but I wanted to separate. Saturday night we were in bed, she was chatting with someone. I noticed that he was exchanging messages with Massimo. I haven't seen it again. I went down to the hall of the building and waited for Massimo to come home after closing the bar. When I saw him in the hall, I went up and killed him."
He hit him with 21 stab wounds, then went up to his house and pounced on his wife. Her 16-year-old daughter Gessica got in the way to defend her and was also massacred, with ten stab wounds. Tefta is safe only because her daughter acted as a shield to defend her .
The confession made to the prosecutor by the alleged murderer, assisted after his arrest by the lawyers Michele Maiellaro and Giacomo Lattanzio, is opposed to the reconstruction of the facts by Gianluca De Santis, brother of the murdered bartender.
“Between the two there was nothing at all. My brother didn't even have a chance to meet the lady, not even at the bar where she came with her friends to have breakfast after taking their children to school: at that hour Massimo was still asleep because he, who did everything in the bar, from pastry chef to the counter, he closed the place late in the evening». «Massimo - explains his brother - lived in that condominium for 43 years with our mother, who was now 80 and a widow. Relations with that family were excellent, normal relations between condominiums, they greeted and respected each other ». Also with Taulant: «He saw you and greeted you, never a quarrel, nothing».
Malaj had been in Italy for 20 years. The couple had been married for 17 years and between the two, say the neighbors, there had never been particularly animated quarrels.
"At that moment, blinded by anger - the defenders report - he did not realize that he was facing his daughter and started hitting her". After the admissions, the man insistently asked the magistrate: "How is Gessica, is she okay?". Also for this reason, the lawyers do not exclude the possibility of making a request for a psychiatric report.
Meanwhile, the child was entrusted to his uncles.
