The investigating judge of Milan Angela Minerva validated the arrest and ordered the precautionary custody in prison for Alessandro Impagnatiello (WHO IS IT), the 30-year-old who confessed to having killed Giulia Tramontano, his 29-year-old pregnant girlfriend, and to having tried to burn the body. At the same time, the investigating judge excluded the aggravating circumstance of premeditation and decided to drop the aggravating circumstance of cruelty as well, emphasizing that “the homicidal action is not currently characterized by particular stubbornness, taking into account the type of weapon used and of the number and extent of the blows inflicted”. The charges against the man are aggravated voluntary homicide, concealment of a corpse and abortion without consent. At the end of the interrogation to validate the detention – held today in San Vittore – Impagnatiello’s lawyer, Sebastiano Sartori, said that the 30-year-old confirmed the murder confession and added “details concerning the last phase of the stabbing”. “He denied premeditation and said he did it all by himself,” added the lawyer. Sartori then explained that his client, after having confessed, repeated to him: “The only form of repentance that makes sense is to take my life”. According to reports The Corriere della Sera, Impagnatiello would have said he killed Giulia Tramontano in the living room of the house (FEMINICIDES IN ITALY, THE NUMBERS). In Sant’Antimo, the municipality north of Naples where Tramontano was born, there will be mourning in the city on the day of her funeral.
Impagnetiello: “I killed Giulia because I was stressed”
In the measure validating the detention, the investigating judge writes that Impagnatiello explained that “he acted without a real reason because he was stressed by the situation that had arisen, mentioning, among other things, as a source of stress, not only the management of the two girls but also the fact that others had come to know about it”. The interrogation lasted less than an hour: the man reiterated what he had already confessed but retracted the first version he had given of the murder. Responding to the judge’s questions, he said the girl, before he killed her, had “unintentionally” cut her arm with the kitchen knife she was using to cut tomatoes. That would have been her “spark” that would have led him to hit her several times in her neck. Previously Impagnatiello had said, confessing to the crime, that Giulia on Saturday evening, while she was intent on preparing dinner, told him life had become “heavy” for her and she had “started getting cuts on her arms. She had she has already inflicted a few blows on the neck and I, having arrived near her, in order not to make her suffer, I also inflicted three or four blows on her”.
The investigations
In the meantime, investigations continue to ascertain not only the man’s movements following the stabbing, but also to verify whether or not he had an accomplice. In fact, investigators and investigators have many doubts about the fact that the 30-year-old – as he also reiterated in the last interrogation – got rid of the lifeless body of his partner by himself. Among the various investigative activities, the videos of all the surveillance cameras in Senago are being recovered. The autopsy, on the other hand, should be ready starting next week and should be carried out by Cristina Cattaneo, the anatomopathologist who has been entrusted with several important cases in the past, such as that of Yara Gambirasio.

The moments after the murder
Meanwhile, what could be the first moments of the killer after the murder have been released. In some frames, recorded by the surveillance cameras around the house where the woman was killed (in Senago, in the Milanese area), the man can be seen leaving the house on the night between 27 and 28 May holding ” what – the investigators say – looks like a white wrapper” and then, in the morning, he is seen as he “places some bags in the car”. The investigators consider it “anomalous” that it could be garbage, given that the bins are under the house.
The man’s confession
In the record of the 30-year-old’s confession, we read that the man declared that he had killed Giulia Tramontano on Saturday evening. Then he would have kept the body hidden, according to his version, first in a “box”, where he attempted to burn it with petrol, then in a “cellar” and finally in the “trunk” of his car “until Wednesday night when I decide to throw it, around 2.30 on Wednesday in that place I already knew where it was later found”. On the man’s version, including this dynamic he told of the concealment of the body, investigators and investigators are investigating. It was the man, last Sunday, who reported the disappearance of his partner by pretending to be worried.
