SANTO STEFANO DI CAMASTRA (Messina) – Mariolina Nigrelli, 40, the day she was found dead hanged with her 14-year-old daughter, Alessandra Mollica, in their country house in Santo Stefano di Camastra, in the Messina area, bought some ropes from a hardware store . To lift her daughter’s body, the woman would have used an automatic pulley in the room. The news, writes the Gazzetta del Sud, underlining that the episode was revealed by the owner of the shop to the carabinieri who questioned him. The detail, which seems to corroborate the hypothesis of premeditation, was confirmed by Patti’s prosecutor, Angelo Cavallo, owner of the investigation which speaks of “fundamental elements to unfortunately speak of a murder-suicide case”. From the first investigations it seems that the daughter had problems in relating with peers and that the mother lived with great concern these difficulties of the girl. The woman left on the kitchen table of the house in the village where the family lived a note with the words “I’m taking Alessandra with me”.
