Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – A crime that the 48-year-old describes as 'involuntary': "I didn't mean to, we were playing an erotic game" were the words he said yesterday during the interrogation to validate the arrest before judge Anna Calabi. After strangling her "I panicked and decided to get rid of the body". The coffin of the 40-year-old babysitter is a gym bag that the suspect - as shown by the internal cameras of the building - dragged from the apartment to the trunk of the car at 2.45:25 on Saturday 18 January. Only in the late afternoon, about XNUMX hours after the crime, did he get rid of it by throwing the bag on the road, in a ditch near a roundabout between Cassano d'Adda and Treviglio. A vague indication that does not help the numerous carabinieri who have been busy searching for days, despite the bad weather.
The discovery of the body is central to the investigators because it can ascertain whether Pablo Gonzalez Rivas's words are credible. There are a series of contradictions against the Salvadoran man made to the police. The first concerns the night of the crime when he claims to have fallen asleep and not noticed that his partner had gone out. The images from the cameras, however, show him while - between 2 and 3 am on January 25 - he goes back and forth, several times, from the apartment in Piazza dei Daini to the garage.
To the military, he speaks of the victim as a friend, a roommate, rather than a partner he has been living with for six years. And the complaint that arrives only a week after the disappearance is also suspicious. For the deputy prosecutor Letizia Mannella and the prosecutor Alessia Menegazzo, the suspect's strategy is clear: to try to avoid the charge of voluntary homicide and try the preterintentional card, thus avoiding a life sentence. The prosecutor's office does not believe in the theory of a game gone wrong - as does judge Calabi who validated the arrest for voluntary homicide - and is waiting to find out the real motive for the femicide of Jhoanna Nataly Quintanilla.
