A premeditated attack. This is the most widely accepted theory by the Florence prosecutor's office regarding yesterday's death of Lorena Isceri, a 45-year-old woman originally from the province of Lecce and resident in Florence. She was thrown from a viaduct on the A1 motorway in the municipality of Barberino del Mugello (Florence) by her ex-husband, Federico Vella, 36, of Florence, who then committed suicide by jumping from the same bridge. The prosecutor's office has opened a case of voluntary manslaughter against persons unknown, a necessary step to conduct the necessary investigations, including forensic ones, to reconstruct the tragic incident.
An autopsy will be performed next Monday to determine whether the woman died before or after hitting the ground. An autopsy will also be performed on Vella's body to determine whether he had taken any narcotics. Meanwhile, based on what has been reconstructed so far, it appears that Vella planned the attack down to the last detail.
Electrical cable ties, which were apparently used to bind the woman's wrists, and duct tape were found in the car. According to the investigation, Vella ambushed the victim in the garage the woman owned, near Via Panciatichi, on the outskirts of Florence.
After covering the photoelectric cells with tape to prevent the doors from closing, he waited for the woman. Then he attacked her and loaded her into the trunk of Lorena's car and drove off. The man also placed his ex's purse in the trunk. She was then able to use her phone, which has now been rebuilt, to contact 112 for help. The call to the emergency number's operations center lasted about twenty minutes.
The recording of the call itself apparently includes the man saying, "What are you doing?", before the call ends. The woman may have also attempted to contact a friend and her mother. Confirmation will only be possible after examining the cell phone seized along with Vella's and the car in which the two were last traveling together.
