Sofia Castelli, the twenty-year-old, stabbed to death by her ex in the early hours of July 29 in her parents' house in Cologno Monzese had a plane ticket to Alghero.
The girl had to go to Santa Maria Coghinas for her grandparents' golden wedding. In Sardinia, her parents were already waiting for her to celebrate together. On the other hand, they received the dramatic news on the island and immediately set off on their way back.
Castelli that night had returned home from the disco with a friend. He had given her the room, while she had gone to sleep in her parents' room. In the closet was hidden Zakaria Atqaoui, the 23-year-old self-confessed offender, who had sneaked into the house after duplicating the keys.
When the girl got into bed and fell asleep, he rushed at her and killed her with three stab wounds in the neck with a knife that he had gone to change while she was already asleep, because it was serrated and had a dull blade: « I thought it wasn't suitable, I went back to the kitchen and got a more suitable one," he told investigators.
The friend, in the other room, didn't notice anything.
