"Lucid and calculating" and, if he were not under arrest, "he could run away." These are some passages contained in the precautionary order in prison issued by the investigating judge of Catania, Daniela Monaco Crea, against Martina Patti , the woman who confessed to killing her 5-year-old daughter and hiding her body.
The little girl, "the victim of a particularly bloody and even slow violent death", was killed by her 23-year-old mother who in all phases of the murder "must have necessarily been in full capacity", being "in physical condition and psychics capable of acting ".
"I took Elena to this field - they are the memories of the 23 year old - and I hurt her and I don't remember anything else", she had "a long thing like a knife, I don't remember where I got it, I don't know why I had it "And about the moment when he hit the little girl:" I don't remember well, because I was turned around and didn't want to look . "
"Killing a child at an early age - writes the investigating judge - and, therefore defenseless, in addition to integrating a very serious crime, is an unnatural, repugnant, ethically immoral , reprehensible and despicable behavior, not at all acceptable in any context ... index of a strong criminal instinct with a high degree of danger ".
Martina, the judge emphasizes, did not repent: “ She staged the kidnapping with extreme clarity and showed no signs of repentance and repentance. All elements that denote a particular unscrupulousness, insensitivity, absolute lack of resipiscence ".
The ordinance shows the various "I don't remember" pronounced by the woman: "I don't remember what went through my mind when I hit my daughter, indeed I can say that no thought passed to me, as if at that moment I was a different person "," I don't remember the little girl's reaction as I hit her, maybe she was still, but I have a very clouded memory "," I don't remember burying the girl, but it was certainly me ". While he notes that "when I went to the camp I had a black plastic bag with me that I tore off the roll before leaving the house".
