He had partially admitted his responsibilities, only to retract everything in front of the prosecutors. The position of is complicated Andrea Favero, arrested on charges of aggravated voluntary homicide against his ex-partner Giada Zanola, the woman who died after falling 15 meters from the A4 overpass in Vigonza, in the province of Padua. The 38-year-old truck driver from Padua practically confessed to having thrown the 34-year-old from the bridge in the first report drawn up by the officers who intervened to stop him, but in the last interrogation with the magistrates he gave a different version.
The interrogation of Andrea Favero
“I grabbed her knees and lifted her over the railing” Favero would have said, as reported by Corriere della Serain front of the men of the traffic police and the mobile squad of Padua who listened to him first.
Those words reported in the report of the so-called “summary testimonial information” (Sit) cannot be used as evidence in the trial if they are not repeated before the public prosecutor. Which the 38-year-old didn’t do, speaking with prosecutor Giulio Falcone about a empty memory about what happened in the moments preceding the death of his ex-partner, around 3.30 am on the night between Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th May.

Favero did not even respond to the investigating judge, who initially had not validated the arrest of the crime suspect, but subsequently considered the prosecutor’s accusatory system to be valid and signed the precautionary custody order in prison.
In the report drawn up by the police officers, the 38-year-old also spoke about the argument broke out with Giada Zanola, in the early hours of Wednesday at home in Vigonza, following which the ex-partner allegedly left the house, threatening to leave and “not to let him see his son again”.
The truck driver said that at that point he would have taken the 34-year-old’s car, reached her and convinced her to get in, and then returned home. “I continued along the road, passing the overpass, and I made a U-turn…” he allegedly declared to the police: according to his version, the argument then continued on the return journey.

The point about the investigations
According to the prosecution’s reconstructions, it was Favero who pushed the woman from the overpass. For the deputy prosecutor Giorgio Falcone, the phone call to the victim or the messages with which the 38-year-old complained to his ex-partner that she had left without saying goodbye, sent a few hours after the crime, “represent a staging“.
The autopsy on Giada Zanoli’s body confirmed that she was 34 years old still alive when she arrived on the overpass, while the results of the tests are awaited to ascertain whether or not he was under the influence of narcotics or medications. Favero also did not comment on the victim’s condition, but his words in the first hours of the interrogation before the police officers remain a piece of circumstantial evidence included in the documents and contained in the precautionary custody order in prison.
