"At that moment I wanted to kill her. Why so much violence? Because there were feelings, actually no, I portrait and I don't want to answer this question. It was a raptus".
So Ezio Galesi, the 59-year-old who barbarously murdered his ex-girlfriend Elena Casanova, 49, in Castegnato in Bresciano with a hammer , answered tonight in front of the public prosecutor of Brescia Carlo Pappalardo. "I hit her in the head several times," Galesi said in the interrogation which began at 11.41pm and ended at ten past midnight. "I met her yesterday in a shop in Castegnato and then - he added - I went to wait for her outside the house".
THE FEMINICIDE - The reconstruction of the crime, which took place last night, is gruesome: Galesi waited for the victim outside the woman's home. When she got in her car, he smashed the window with a hammer and raged on her until he killed her. Then he turned to the neighbors: "Call the carabinieri, I killed her with a hammer." Then he waited for the police to arrive without moving: arrested, he remained in the Arma car for a long time, staring into space.
Nobody saw anything, nobody could do anything to save that woman. The victim's house is one of the terraced houses that overlook some agricultural fields, in a not too bright area.
Casanova, a worker at Iveco in Brescia and mother of a 17-year-old girl, was well known in the country because she was actively involved in environmental campaigns. He had left Galesi for a year and was starting a new relationship.
THE TESTIMONY - "I saw him in front of Elena who was on the ground, he was there, motionless, smoking a cigarette", said the woman's ex-husband. The man lives not far from the crime scene, in via Fiorita was in the car with her 27-year-old daughter, passing by she saw the killer and the body on the ground: "I realized something had happened, and at that moment I just thought about taking my daughter away".
