The smiling face of Rossella with a little dog in her arms, a snapshot taken in a moment of happiness.
"Unfortunately this time I was unable to save you," writes Monica Nappini on Facebook , sister of Rossella, the 52-year-old nurse killed in Rome with a series of stab wounds in the entrance hall of the building where she lived with her elderly mother and the two children.
Words that suggest that in the victim's past there had already been complicated stories, troubled sentimental affairs as well as the one lived with the 45-year-old of Moroccan origins now in custody on charges of voluntary homicide aggravated by premeditation.
In the post published on the social network, the woman's sister adds, ideally addressing Rossella: «One thing is certain, you will be close to dad as you wanted. RIP my little sister" and then add a few hours later: "Justice done now you have to rot in prison", in reference to the arrest of the suspect.
A tragedy that destroyed an entire family and shook an entire neighborhood.
«Cabbage Rossè - comments, again via social media, Francesco, the victim's brother-in-law -. I can't find a photo of us together. This is how I want to remember you my sister-in-law. I remember perfectly when we printed this photo together. I loved you despite our quarrels. I will miss you so much my boss!! May the earth be light on you."
According to the allegations, the 45-year-old man left the house with a knife with the intention of killing her. Before the fatal attack, he would have waited for Rossella to go home right in the apartment where she lived in the Primavalle-Trionfale district. Then the argument, a brief scuffle and the stabs, in sequence, in various parts of the body. A real slaughter in broad daylight, so much so that many condominiums and neighbors heard the screams. The 45-year-old, who walked away carrying the knife (not yet found), was eventually blocked in his home, about three kilometers from the scene of the murder as the crow flies.
