In the interrogation of December 1st, Filippo Turetta also spoke about his relationship with the sister of his ex-girlfriend, Elena Cecchettin. “She didn’t like me – the 22-year-old explained that she killed her ex Giulia Cecchettin – because I was always with her, her sister”
Relations between Filippo Turetta and Elena Cecchettin would never have been relaxed. The young woman, probably worried about the state of anxiety and constraint in which her sister Giulia seemed to find herself, would never have hidden her lack of sympathy towards the 22 year old. Turetta himself said this when heard by the magistrate during the interrogation on December 1st.
According to Turetta, who on 11 November kidnapped and killed his ex-girlfriend who was about to discuss her degree thesis, Elena Cecchettin “would never have liked him”. “We didn’t have much of a relationship – said the 22-year-old -. She was a difficult person, then I knew she never liked me.”
He told the magistrate that “there was no particular reason” to justify Giulia Cecchettin’s sister’s lack of trust in him. “I don’t know why, there wasn’t a real reason. Maybe a little because she was very protective of her sister – he stated -. A fight was enough to make her look at me badly. Then I think that since Giulia and I were together, she was practically always with me and was no longer at home. She had started to cultivate less and less of all the relationships she had before and to hang out with those people less and less. Maybe she was bothered by having lost her relationship with her sister Con I almost never spoke to her, perhaps only on a few occasions. When I went to her house she didn’t speak to me, we didn’t have a relationship.”
“I needed her”: why Filippo Turetta killed Giulia Cecchettin in blind rage
During the interrogation, the 22-year-old then looked back on the evening of November 11th, when he kidnapped and then killed his ex-girlfriend. He told the magistrate that he got rid of the knife with which he killed Giulia in the industrial area of Fossò immediately after the attack on the girl. After loading the body of the seriously injured 22-year-old onto the Fiat Punto, he remained stationary in the street for two or three minutes. “I couldn’t find his cell phone – confessed the 22 year old – The cell phone was in his bag, when I retrieved it I threw it together with the knife and my tablet not long after Fossò, in a ditch on a side street. I left Giulia’s computer outside the car, in a street in Aviano”.
On 15 and 18 July there will be closed-door hearings at the Venice court for the 22-year-old’s indictment.
