“I saw the car door open and two people screaming, I didn’t understand what had happened, but when the lady moved, then I saw the body.” Speaking is the person who called for help after seeing the lifeless body of Angelo Onorato, the entrepreneur found dead this afternoon in Palermo, in viale Regione Siciliana northwest, in the stretch that runs along the motorway to Mazara del Vallo.
«There was his wife (the MEP Francesca Donato, ed) in front of me, desperate, screaming and crying, then she moved and I saw the body: the man was sitting on the driver’s side, he had a band around his neck. As soon as I saw the blood I walked away. I arrived around 3.30pm. I knew him, I collaborated with him, but initially I didn’t even recognize him. Then they told me who he was.”
«I saw the door of the Range Rover open and two people screaming. It seemed to me there was someone who had fallen ill.” In addition to the prosecutor on duty, there are forensic police officers on site who are carrying out all the investigations to establish the causes of death. Onorato would have died suffocated by a plastic clamp of those used in construction. Investigators need to determine whether it was a suicide or a homicide.
