“I am experiencing the most difficult and devastating moments of my life. The pain is unimaginable. I ask everyone to refrain from speculating on the causes of death of my husband. There are investigations underway, let’s let the police work. I thank all those who in these terrible hours have had words of affection for my beloved Angel and have shown closeness and solidarity for my family. There are so many of them and each one is precious to me.” MEP Francesca Donato writes it on X regarding the investigations into the death of her husband Angelo Onoratothe architect found dead in his car with a band around his neck last Saturday.
The prosecutor opens a murder case
The investigation file opened by the Palermo prosecutor’s office is registered as murder after the death of Angelo Onorato. The magistrates continue to lean towards the theory of suicide, even if the reason for the gesture is far from clear. LRegistration for murder is a necessary act given the need to carry out investigations, some of which are unrepeatable, such as an autopsy. The architect’s family, however, continue to reiterate that they do not believe in the theory of suicide and maintain that the man was killed
The cameras support the suicide theory
Angelo Onorato’s SUV was parked in a blind spot between two surveillance cameras. From the image recordings it is clear that no vehicle stopped near the professional’s Range Rover because all the “filmed” cars passed in a time incompatible with a stop. Nor were any passers-by on foot filmed. The circumstances would support the suicide thesisexcept hypothesize that the killer got away by climbing the wallat least two meters high, which delimits the highway to avoid being filmed.
Family lawyer: “Onorato did not take his own life”
“There are a series of objective and subjective considerations that lead i family members to exclude that it was a suicide. We are convinced that the Palermo Prosecutor’s Office will arrive at the same conclusions”. This was stated by the lawyer Vincenzo Lo Re, appointed by the MEP Francesca Donato to follow the investigations on behalf of the family into the death of her husband Angelo Onorato, found dead in his car with a band around his neck.
The entrepreneur’s letter delivered to the lawyer
The entrepreneur Angelo Onorato would have left a letter to the lawyer with the recommendation to deliver it to his wife in case something happened to him. In the letter, in which he explains that he is in “economic difficulties”, there is also a list of the assets he owns and some credits he has. The lawyer was heard in the offices of the Palermo flying squad investigating Onorato’s death. The entrepreneur relied on the professional for the tax aspects of his company. The investigators would have listened to him to ascertain Onorato’s economic situation and any connections with his death due to debt or financial crisis. The images of two surveillance cameras present at the site of the tragedy are also being examined by investigators.
