Milan Probes Missed Safeguards in Killing of Pamela Genini as Vigil Draws Hundreds

A hospital risk test in 2024 flagged high danger but protections were not activated, and prosecutors are now collecting records to map the months of alleged abuse.

Overview

  • Ex-partner Gianluca Soncin, 52, is under arrest on aggravated murder charges after the 29-year-old was fatally stabbed in her Milan home.
  • Autopsy findings report more than 30 stab wounds, including three fatal blows to the chest, as investigators analyze seized devices and evidence.
  • Police notes say another knife and several psychotropic medications were found in Soncin’s Audi Q8 parked outside the victim’s building.
  • Records show Pamela answered four of five high-risk questions in a 2024 hospital assessment, yet the ‘codice rosso’ pathway was not triggered; prosecutors in Milan and Bergamo are reviewing the handling as Ravenna’s chief cites limits without a formal complaint.
  • Family and friends describe escalating jealousy, isolation and assaults, while a torchlight march in the Gorla neighborhood gathered about a thousand people and prompted calls from the mayor for bystanders to report concerns.
