Rimini, 27 June 2024 – Now she speaks. After the nine and a half hour interrogation to which he was subjected last Tuesday Louis Dassilvathe only suspect for the murder of Pierina Paganelli, to take the floor, to provide some clarifications also following the rumors leaked to the press, is Manuela Bianchi, daughter-in-law of the victim, who in the past had an extramarital affair with the 34-year-old Senegalese, her neighbor on the third floor of the condominium on Via Del Ciclamino.

Manuela’s first clarification concerns precisely the story with Louis: “it is absolutely not true that it continued until June” said Bianchi. “I can’t say whether Louis had been in love or not, my feeling was sincere it’s important”.
As for his possible involvement in the investigation, Manuela adds, “we are not afraid absolutely no expansion of the investigations, we are calm and confident in the work of the Prosecutor’s Office”. Bianchi says “convinced that Louis was not involved in the events because in my opinion he would have had no reason to kill Pierina, also considering that I had already decided to leave the marital home in April 2023. Giuliano was aware of this and so was Pierina. Louis has always shown himself to be a person available to everyone and never violent.”
Meanwhile the transmission Who has seen? Reveal one audio conversation between Valeria and Manuela. Louis’ wife vents: “You pretended to be a friend just to be with my husband more. Why don’t you come here and tell me the truth? You are only capable of doing things behind your back.”
“Loris and Manuela – adds in the meantime the legal consultant Davide Barzan – are absolutely calm, at the disposal of the investigative bodies where further clarification is needed. To date we have no evidence of any summons for Manuela. We await the swearing-in of the expert appointed by the court which will take place on Friday (tomorrow for those reading, ed.) and we will speak together with General Luciano Garofano on the questions to be proposed. The “unrepeatable tests” on the biological material from the crime scene, on the blood traces found in the home of Louis and his wife Valeria Bartolucci, to be carried out as part of the evidentiary incident will be decisive.
“We reiterate the total ignorance of Manuela’s events identified as an offended person by the Prosecutor’s Office and by Loris” continues Barzan. On the day Pierina’s body was found, Manuela was supposed to meet with the elders of the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. That, adds Barzan, “It wasn’t a meeting at all of judgment but a meeting of encouragement for the family situation. This is demonstrated by the fact that Manuela, with the utmost respect for the congregation, spontaneously decided to dissociate herself in January. Dissociating in no way leads to social death for a brother or sister in the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
