Milan Woman, 29, Fatally Stabbed on Apartment Terrace, Partner Detained on Prosecutor’s Order

The suspect remains hospitalized after an apparent suicide attempt, with forensic teams reconstructing the killing.

Overview

  • The victim was identified in reports as Pamela Genini, 29, and the suspect as Gianluca Soncin, 52.
  • Neighbors saw the stabbing on the third-floor terrace in via privata Iglesias 33 in Gorla and called 112 as police and firefighters forced entry.
  • Public prosecutor Alessia Menegazzo ordered Soncin’s detention for aggravated homicide, and Polizia Scientifica carried out on-site examinations.
  • Soncin allegedly cut his own throat, was transported to Niguarda hospital in serious condition, and later invoked his right to remain silent when questioned.
  • The couple had been together about a year during a reported crisis; the victim phoned an ex-partner about leaving, neighbors recalled earlier violent episodes, and Soncin has a prior fraud conviction with no recorded complaints against him.
