Investigators are treating the case as suspected intimate-partner violence.

Overview

  • Police have identified her partner, Gianluca Soncin, 52, as the alleged attacker during a confrontation on the third-floor terrace.
  • Officers found Soncin with self-inflicted throat wounds, and he was taken to Niguarda Hospital in serious condition.
  • Witnesses reported hearing Genini scream for help, and several neighbours said they called the police during the attack.
  • Some reports say Soncin has been arrested on suspicion of voluntary manslaughter as the investigation continues.
  • Genini was a model and entrepreneur known from Italian reality TV and the SheLux swimwear brand, and the killing has renewed attention on femicide in Italy.
