Overview
- Pamela Genini, 29, was stabbed 24 times at her Milan apartment, with police forcing entry minutes after she messaged an ex that the man had entered using a duplicate key.
- Suspect Gianluca Soncin, 52, allegedly tried to kill himself after the attack, was stabilized at Niguarda, and is now in isolation at San Vittore.
- Soncin remained silent in questioning before prosecutors and then before the investigating judge Tommaso Perna, who is considering the prosecution’s request to confirm the arrest and impose custody.
- The Milan prosecutor’s office seeks detention on aggravated homicide with premeditation, stalking, cruelty and futili motives, citing the duplicate keys and a knife brought from outside.
- Neighbors reported seeing parts of the assault and hearing Genini’s pleas as an ex-boyfriend alerted 112; friends described prior threats and violence, while no formal complaints are on record, and local vigils are being organized.
