He is the most wanted Italian man: Filippo Turetta has been on the run for more than seven days. A week ago the twenty-two year old from Vigonovo (Venice) kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, Giulia Cecchettin. Now he is accused of killing her: first he beat her, then he hit her with a knife in the throat, and then threw her off a cliff into Lake Barcis, in the province of Pordenone, in Friuli. Now he seems to have disappeared: investigators are looking for his traces, physical and online. The research was concentrated abroad.
According to rumours, the last useful sighting was in Lienz, Tyrol. It would have crossed the gap in Tarvisio on Sunday towards Carinthia.
The young man accused of murder travels aboard his Grande Punto Nera. In the hands of the Venice Carabinieri there is apparently a video taken at a petrol station in Cortina. It dates back to Sunday morning: we see Filippo filling the tank. He pays in cash and then leaves. A few days later the owner of the plant opened the cash register and noticed that a 20 euro banknote had stains similar to blood. The man called the police and carabinieri of Belluno who acquired both the video surveillance images and the banknotes, now in the hands of the Venice investigators. The investigations will have to establish whether the blood on the money is Giulia's.
The computer material seized from Turetta's home was also investigated: it emerged that he had searched online for how to find mountain survival kits, but also routes, maps and tracks of Tyrol. If this research turns out to be recent, it would be elements that would strengthen the hypothesis of the premeditation of the crime.
