The discovery of the body
The tragedy occurred in Chignolo Po, a town of about 4 thousand inhabitants in the province of Pavia, where the body of Sabrina Baldini Palemi, a 56-year-old woman, was found in her home. The alarm was raised by her daughter, who was worried after having tried in vain to contact her mother.
The woman, a health care worker in a nursing home in Lodi, did not answer the phone, prompting her daughter to go to the home in via Mariotto in Lambrinia.
Upon arrival, the daughter noticed a strong smell of gas coming from inside, which further increased her concern. The Carabinieri and Firefighters intervened immediately on site, finding the front door with no signs of forced entry, confirming the young woman's fears.
The investigations and the arrest of the companion
The investigation immediately focused on the victim's partner, Frank Pettineo, 52 years old, tracked down by the Carabinieri in Pandino, in the province of Cremona. After a long interrogation, he was stopped and subsequently transferred to the Cremona prison. The authorities are trying to reconstruct the events that led to this tragic epilogue, with particular attention to the relationship between the victim and her partner.
According to initial information, Sabrina did not show any obvious signs of violence, but signs of strangulation were found on her body. There were no gunshot or stab wounds, which suggests that the murder occurred in an intimate context, without signs of a violent struggle.
The victim's family background
Sabrina Baldini Palemi was the mother of two children, a boy and a girl, from her husband from whom she had separated, Philip Pettineo, Franco's brother. This family bond further complicates the situation, raising questions about family dynamics and possible motives behind the murder. The community of Chignolo Po is shocked by this tragedy, which has struck a woman known and respected for her work.
The investigation is still ongoing and investigators are trying to gather further evidence and testimonies to clarify the circumstances of this murder, which has left a deep mark on the lives of those who knew Sabrina and on the local community.
