“Flowers and anonymous cards to her, she was beyond reproach”

“I would like to clarify some things, in particular with respect to the news that my mother-in-law received some time ago bouquet and some cards with chaste compliments. She had no idea who they were coming from and neither did I.”

Talking is Manuela whitesdaughter-in-law of Pierina Paganelli, the over seventy year old woman killed with 29 stab wounds last October 3rd in the garage in via del Ciclamino in Rimini. The woman, through the criminalist and defense consultant David Barzanhe wanted to clarify Fanpage.it some details on the alleged admirer who sent the victim a bouquet of flowers and various notes before the murder, in support of his defense’s thesis that there was a fifth man on which the attention of the investigators, until now focused precisely on Manuela, should focus on her brother Loris whitesand on the neighbors Valeria And Louis Dassilva, even if no name has ever been entered in the register of suspects.

“Dr. Paci, the prosecuting prosecutor – said Manuela a Fanpage.it -, asked to report whatever we remembered it might seem like relevant. Therefore, when a friend of mine and my mother-in-law’s remembered an occasion in which Pierina, laughing, told her that this anonymous bouquet of flowers had arrived, I thought it was important to inform the Prosecutor’s Office.”

“We are not talking about a relationship or an acquaintance – continued Manuela -. Furthermore, a member of the family also spoke to me about cards anonymous arrived in a period I don’t know if different from the flowers. Which made me think it might be relevant. But I emphasize that they were anonymous. Pierina said that she did not know who had sent them to her, we are not talking about the same person that she discussed on television, who thanked her for a pleasure received.”

The reference is a man of about 80 years oldwho died in 2021, in the midst of the Covid emergency, who according to the lawyers of Pierina’s children would have sent a bouquet of flowers with a note to the woman as thanks for the assistance she had provided him.

“My mother-in-law – continued Manuela Bianchi – was a person with very high expectations moral norms that he would never accept court from anyone. His children would have known. We’re talking about one irreproachable person. After the divorce with my father-in-law I can say that she never dated anyone, not that there was anything wrong but she had decided that she would remain alone in her life. These items only came out to look for the truth and nothing else.”

Manuela concluded by stating: “I would like to clarify the reason why in briefs filed my lawyers at the Prosecutor’s Office also added the news of the anonymous admirer, because it could be important. The investigators must know everything that comes to mind, because the truth must come out at all costs, in order to do so justice and to give life back to the caring people and Pierina’s relatives who are now suffering.”
