She had vanished into thin air for 12 days with her husband from the Cremonese area, where they lived: Rossella Cominotti, 53 years old, was found dead yesterday morning in a hotel room in Mattarana , a hamlet of Carrodano in the province of La Spezia, by the personnel responsible for the cleaning. She is the 110th victim of femicide in our country in 2023.
Her husband, Alfredo Zenucchi, 57, killed her. The man was stopped in Lunigiana after an escape attempt that lasted a few hours and confessed to the crime, committed with a razor with which he hit the woman several times.
«We had decided to die together – he said – but after killing her I wasn't able to take my own life and I ran away» .
There had been no news of the couple for about two weeks : husband and wife, residents of Cavatigozzi on the outskirts of Cremona, are the owners of a newsstand in the center of Bonemerse in front of the town hall. In the last few hours, a relative of Rossella had launched a vain appeal on Facebook to find her, reporting that "there is a lot of fear in the family" about her fate.
The two newsagents, despite the work they carried out, always in contact with people, were reserved, "even shy" say neighbors and customers . The business has been found closed more than once.
"Never heard anyone scream, never witnessed any particular arguments" , say the neighbors, but the two appeared "strange" . They saw each other very little and had almost non-existent relationships with the neighbourhood, despite the fact that the residence complex is made up of houses attached to each other. «We have practically never seen him. We must have spoken to her three times in total. And to say good morning or good evening."
For months the house seemed abandoned. "The grass in the garden grew enormously and we proceeded to cut it ourselves", say some neighbors, also raising the shadow of alleged economic problems.
