Femicide of Giulia Cecchettin, the motivations of life imprisonment for Filippo Turetta: “75 stab wounds are not a sign of cruelty, but of inexperience”

“Filippo Turetta has not accepted that Giulia Cecchettin He was free to decide how to live his life and not to want to be with him anymore. So, after preparing for four days, on the evening of 11 November 2023 he killed him hitting it with 75 stabbed ». These words are read in the reasons for the sentence with which the Venice Court of Assizes condemned the girl’s ex -boyfriend to life imprisonment. These reasons, for which additional time was granted compared to the rule, were highly attesting to understand why the judges had recognized the aggravating circumstance of the premeditation but not those of stalking and cruelty.

According to reports from the motivations Filippo Turetta was sentenced to life imprisonment without generic attenuating for “the heinousness of the action, the resolve of the accomplished gesture and the Abietti reasons of archaic overpowering That this gesture generated: vile and despicable reasons, dictated by intolerance for the freedom of self -determination of the young woman, of which the accused did not accept the autonomy of the even more trivial life choices “.

The dynamic of the femicide of Giulia Cecchettin does not allow you to deduce with certainty, and beyond any reasonable doubt if Filippo Turetta wanted to “inflict free and additional suffering”, and “it is not for this purpose, in itself, the number of stab wounds inflicted”. For the judges, the 75 stab wounds would not have been “a way to cruelly rage or to make the victim havoc”, but “Consequence of inexperience and disability”.

The aggression lasted a total of about 20 minutes with the possibility, in this period of time, “to perceive the imminent death”. “However, the proof that having prolonged the victim’s anguish is an act in itself is missingthe result of the accused’s deliberate will to cause additional and free suffering from it ».

In the 150 pages there is also talk of the concealment of the corpse and the shortcomings in the confession of Turetta who “He limited himself to admitting only the circumstances for which there was already ample proof in acts on the other hand”. This conduct, according to the judges, “is in line with the demeanor kept at the first interrogation, when he not only took away but openly lied in different, even serious, circumstances then emerged following the accurate investigations carried out. From the interceptions of the conversations that occurred in prison between him and the parents, it is clearly evident that he was aware of the fact that, in addition to the elements that emerged so far, there was much more to his detention, yet he looked at herself well from referring to it in the interrogation “.

In the murder and concealment of the body the former student has maintained “Lucidity and rationality”. In him there is the “clear and undeniable desire to hide the body at least to delay its discovery”.
