"I feel a rage that drives me crazy when I think that in two years that filthy being will be out of prison and will be able to start a new life, while my daughter is no longer here."
This was stated in an interview with Corriere della Sera by Gennaro Rea, Melania's father, who was killed with 35 stab wounds on April 18, 14 years ago by her husband Salvatore Parolisi. The lifeless body of the woman originally from Somma Vesuviana, who was 28 at the time, was found in Ripe di Civitella in the province of Teramo.
"What drives me crazy, though, is to think that in 14 years nothing has changed and that my daughter's death was of no use - he continues -. Every day I read about women killed by men and I think that it happens because there is no certainty of punishment, because those who deserve life imprisonment are released from prison after a few years, perhaps for good behavior. What good behavior? Those who have atrociously killed a woman like Parolisi did, hitting her in front of their baby girl of a few months, must stay in prison for life".
And he adds: «That being will soon be out and will be able to rebuild his life. What he did, in the end, will be just a parenthesis for him. I, on the other hand, no longer have a daughter and Vittoria no longer has a mother. And it will be forever» . Then he attacks: «She doesn't deserve any understanding. She never wrote a letter to ask for forgiveness, she never asked for information about her daughter. She knows nothing about how she grew up, about how she is today. What kind of father is he who isn't even curious to know what his daughter is like? Here she will never find open doors to forgiveness».
