Giulia Cecchettin was killed by Filippo Turetta in the industrial area of Fossò - 6 kilometers from her home - around 11.40pm on Saturday 11 November. This is the time established by the long autopsy on the 22-year-old's body. When Turetta's black Fiat Punto disappears from the cameras of the industrial area of Fossò, at 11.50 pm, Giulia is already dead, from the stab wounds and injuries suffered in the second phase of Filippo's attack, documented by the images at 11.40 pm that Saturday.
Giulia was stabbed at least twenty times and bled to death, with a fatal blow to the neck. The autopsy tests carried out in Padua must provide many other answers: the number of stab wounds inflicted on Giulia, the blade used by Filippo : the 12 centimeter one recovered in the car in Germany or the 21 centimeter knife found broken in the car park in via Aldo Moro. And again, whether there are other wounds caused by kicks and punches, whether there has been sexual abuse.
While the autopsy examinations were taking place in Padua, less than 100 km away, Filippo Turetta in the Verona prison answered the questions of the Venice prosecutor Andrea Petroni in a lengthy interrogation that lasted nine hours .
The 21-year-old answered questions before Venice prosecutor Andrea Petroni. Upon leaving, both the prosecutor and Turetta's lawyers left in cars, escorted by a cordon of penitentiary police. Lawyer Giovanni Caruso made no statement.
Long pauses, silences, tears, a dull look, but also articulated answers, the ones he hadn't given three days ago.
During the interrogation three days ago, the young man had made use of the right not to answer and had made spontaneous statements in which he said he was "heartbroken". He had also mentioned a mental blackout, explaining that he wanted to "reconstruct in his memory what went off in his head" that evening of November 11th, between Vigonovo and Fossò, the places where the two attacks that cost Giulia's life took place Cecchettin.
"I lost my mind" , he reiterated today when he had to reconstruct step by step everything that happened that evening, but also in the previous days and in the week of his escape to Germany.
If, through the autopsy, the prosecutors want to understand whether to charge Turetta with the aggravating circumstance of cruelty, the interrogation is aimed at evaluating premeditation . From the knives in the car to the scotch purchased days before, there are many complaints made in this regard during the 21-year-old's interrogation.
