For Filippo Turetta, a new meeting in prison today with his lawyer . An important moment to outline the defense strategy in view of Tuesday's interrogation before the investigating judge of Venice, Benedetta Vitolo.
In the meantime, details gradually emerge in the investigation into the atrocious murder of Giulia Cecchettin , such as the discovery of a children's book near her body . Among the things left behind, around twenty artefacts in total seized by the Carabinieri, not far from the body, abandoned in a wooded area near Lake Barcis, in the province of Pordenone, that text for children was also found, entitled "Even Monsters they brush their teeth."
Probably the girl, who dreamed of becoming an illustrator of children's books after graduating in biomedical engineering, had him with her that evening . However, investigations are underway on this point, also as to why Turetta would have decided to leave him there.
The young man, accused of the murder of his ex-girlfriend who left him, locked up behind bars in Verona, says he wants to see his parents as soon as possible : but he won't be able to do so before coming face to face with the judge. His choice to remain silent or to confess, even helping the investigation, could influence his position in the upcoming trial, whether or not mitigating circumstances are granted.
Meanwhile he spent the first hours in Montorio prison, always under constant surveillance by prison police officers as he was a prisoner at risk of suicide. To those who dealt with him, as on Saturday when he arrived after extradition from Germany, he always appeared modest and of few words . He asked to have books to read, as provided for inmates also in the infirmary department, where he was placed to continue with the psychological and psychiatric visits of the medical team, after the first support interview yesterday. He met a prison chaplain friar , who upon leaving the penitentiary institute late in the morning explained that he could not speak, as a rule imparted by the management of the prison, limiting himself to saying that now we must respect "the drama of two families" .
In the next few days Turetta will be transferred to the "protected" section , the one for prisoners for crimes of "strong social disapproval" who, for their protection, must not have contact with people in prison for other types of crimes.
NEW CONFRONTATION – A new confrontation with the lawyer Giovanni Caruso is therefore scheduled for today. If he decides to respond to the judge and provide useful elements to reconstruct, among other things, the way in which he attacked Giulia, who was hit with at least twenty stab wounds, on the evening of November 11th in Vigonovo, between the parking lot less of 200 meters from her house and the industrial area of Fossò, the defensive move could lighten his trial position . Also taking into account the fact that the defense could rely on a psychiatric assessment to ascertain any mental defects .
More clues, from the two knives carried with him to the black plastic bags found on the body and in an envelope nearby, could lead the Venice prosecutor Bruno Cherchi and the prosecutor Andrea Petroni to dispute the aggravating circumstances of the crime in the investigations. premeditation. And the autopsy , which will be carried out on December 1st, will also be important for the possible aggravating circumstance of cruelty , if it emerges that the ex-boyfriend would have been cruel to Giulia in killing her. It will then be necessary to understand whether that push was fatal, while she was trying to escape to Fossò, which at around 11.40pm caused her to hit her head, as shown in the images, on a pavement.
However, Giulia's phone has not yet been traced. Cell phone that connected, we read in the documents, as the "last available data", around 10.45pm on November 11th, to a cell in Marghera, near the shopping center where the two had dinner. From that moment on, it would have been switched off, even when the student was attacked for the first time in the car park on Via Aldo Moro.
