No preview on the results of the autopsy on the body of Giada Zanola, the 34-year-old thrown from the A4 motorway overpass . At the institute of forensic medicine in Padua, Professor Marco Terranova took the tissues to carry out toxicological tests, necessary to ascertain whether the woman was perhaps stunned, with drugs or other substances, before death, or poisoned slowly, as she herself had confided to her friends that she feared.
Meanwhile, his partner, Andrea Favero, accused of the murder, remains in prison. The prosecutor's provision, motivated above all by the "danger of escape", was not validated by the investigating judge Laura Alcaro who however issued a new precautionary custody order in light of the "precise and concordant" indications of guilt.
During the guarantee interrogation, the 39-year-old did not answer questions and did not make spontaneous statements.
His story stopped at the argument with Giada, inside her car, on the overpass. "I don't remember if we climbed onto the step of the railing overlooking the motorway..." the man had said in the Padua Polstrada barracks.
It was Wednesday night. It all started in their home in Vigonza, while their three-year-old son was sleeping. Giada, who wanted to leave and threatened to let Andrea see the child more, apparently left and walked towards the overpass. Favero reported that he took her car, caught up with her, and convinced her to get in the car to go home. «I continued along the road past the overpass, and I made a U-turn...». In the meantime the argument continued. Giada, according to the suspect, would have shouted that he would take the child away from him "and would never let me see him again". It will be necessary to understand whether this version will hold up in the face of further investigations by the police and medical-legal investigations.
The suspicion is that the girl was first stunned - her friends reported her suspicions of being "drugged" by Andrea - or perhaps killed in another place, and then made to fall to simulate suicide. A resolution, moreover, that Giada had never expressed.
