The news of yet another feminicide comes from the Trapani countryside, from a nursery between Mazara del Vallo and Marsala , in the Farla district.
Here yesterday Angelo Reina, 42 years old originally from Valderice, shot dead his ex-partner, Marisa Leo, 39 years old from Salemi .
He asked her for a meeting in the family business, in the nursery that he managed himself, to "clarify". Instead he pointed the gun at her and fired three shots. Then he went to a viaduct at the entrance to Castellammare del Golfo and took his own life with a shot from the same firearm used shortly before to kill Marisa.
Marisa Leo worked at the "Colomba Bianca" cellars, she was marketing manager of the winery. He had reported Angelo Reina for stalking in 2020 . The couple had a three-year-old daughter, but the two had long since split. Just to take the child, the woman had gone to the clarifying meeting requested by the ex.
The Trapani Flying Squad investigates the case, it was the traffic police who found the body.
“Our community is shocked by what happened. There are no words to describe the pain of an absurd and unacceptable tragedy. I express my condolences and closeness to the family on behalf of myself, the Administration and the entire city of Salemi. We hug the family members in memory of a sunny girl who loved life . The day of the funeral will be mourning in Salemi: it is necessary to turn the spotlight on an unacceptable and unbearable phenomenon such as feminicide. Hi Marisa», these are the words of the mayor of Salemi Domenico Venuti .
There is little desire to work in the “Colomba Bianca” company: «We are all shocked by what happened. On Wednesday we worked together all day, then he told us that he had to meet his ex-partner to take the baby », said Giuseppe Gambino, director of the cellar .
