He reiterated that he alone killed his daughter Elena Del Pozzo, 5 years old, in the very place where he later had the body found, after trying to sidetrack the investigation by pretending a kidnapping.
Martina Patti therefore answered the questions of the investigating judge of Catania, reiterating what was said to the Prosecutor's Office and the Carabinieri .
The Prosecutor underlines that "now we just have to wait for the outcome of the technical investigations already requested and those of the autopsy". Among the investigations requested by the prosecutors to the forensic doctors also the toxicological examination to understand if the little girl has been sedated. The forensic examination is carried out in the morgue of the Cannizzaro hospital in Catania.
"AN NOT SERENE MIND"
“To avoid exploitation, I can only report that the interrogation took place and the judge reserved the validation order. My client answered the questions. I cannot add details of any kind. The obscure points will be investigated further in the light of the statements that have been made ", said Gabriele Celesti, lawyer of Martina Patti, adding that her client" is not in a serene state of mind ". The woman "is very tried and when she talks about her daughter she is overwhelmed by emotion and cries".
ARE THERE COMPLICES?
They basically concern the help of any accomplices in committing the crime or in hiding the child's body. Between 14 and 15, or between the killing of the little girl and the report of kidnapping to the carabinieri, Martina Patti made several phone calls to relatives.
