Sebastiano Visintin: «I am shocked, now I am afraid. I no longer want to live “

The man arrived at the former Opp on his own initiative. “I hope it’s not her. Liliana will always be in my heart. I don’t even want to live anymore “

TRIESTE. Sebastiano Visintin, husband of Liliana Resinovich, on the afternoon of Wednesday 5 January learned of the discovery of the body while he was preparing to participate in the umpteenth television program: it had to go on the air with “Live life”.

It had been live on Rai 1, at “Italian Stories”, already in the morning. Then the crews took him to piazza Unità.

“I’m upset … now I’m afraid,” he said, trembling, sitting down on a chair, as evidenced by the reporters who were with him.

Visintin then reached the park of the former psychiatric hospital of San Giovanni where the relief operations were underway, accompanied by some friends by car. The husband was unable to approach to see the body and make the recognition.

But he spoke, again, to the microphones of journalists: “No one contacted me for a possible recognition of the body,” he said chatting with reporters and explaining that he came on his own initiative after a journalist had warned him of the discovery of a person died in that area of ​​the San Giovanni district.

«I hope not to find Lilly’s body – he added – it’s a story that goes on and I don’t understand why yet. If it is she will remain an indelible trace in my heart. I don’t even want to live anymore, “she said, in tears.

From what has been learned, the body was lying on the ground with two black bags that covered the upper and lower parts. Some clothing could be seen from the sacks, including a gray jacket.

“Liliana has many garments, even gray ones,” Visintin explained, hinting that he was unable to remember exactly what his wife’s clothes were.

Visintin, 72, a retired former photographer, has always reported that relations between him and his spouse were good. “We never quarreled,” he repeated to the reporters who were at his home, on the sidelines of the live TV shows in which he took part. “No, I didn’t hurt her.”

During the broadcasts, the husband often dwelt on the relationship that his wife had with Claudio Sterpin, the longtime friend who confirmed that he had had an affair with the woman.

«In my opinion, the morning of the disappearance Lilly went into confusion – observed Visintin – because she was in conflict with this person who obsessed and conditioned her. He was manipulating her and Lilly was a fragile person. Yes, I am accusing that man of this, I am aware of it. But I don’t think he hurt her.

However – he said – I saw on the cell phone that the two of them exchanged coded messages. I believe that the answer to all this lies in the phones ».

The husband revealed that he received a phone call on the night between 4 and 5 January, at 2.39am. «I had the vibro – he said – in the morning I saw that phone call. I called back but no one answered. I then went to the police in the morning to report this. Now I want the truth, I want the truth », he repeated.

In the next few days, the Trieste Public Prosecutor’s Office will appoint a coroner for the autopsy on the body of the woman found dead. At the moment, as emerged from an initial examination of the body operated by Dr. Fulvio Costantinides, no signs of violence have emerged. Not visible, at least.
