Cecchettin case, Turetta in court and the issue of premeditation

Giulia's father, Gino, will also be in the courtroom

ROME – “Tie ankles, take off shoes, fill up the tank”: these and other actions and words listed in a note contained in Filippo Turetta’s cell phone around which the “crucial point of premeditation” revolves, as reconstructed in the TG1 report on today’s hearing: for the first time Filippo Turetta will be in court in Venice and, his lawyers say, “he intends to speak” and will reconstruct the evening and night of November 11 when he stabbed his ex-girlfriend Giulia Cecchettin to death, as he confessed. Giulia’s father, Gino, will also be in court. It is the first time that Turetta has left the Verona prison; prosecutor Andrea Petroni has charged him with aggravated voluntary homicide and, among other things, premeditation. Giulia’s sister, Elena, posted a photo with her sister on Facebook: ‘I miss you’, ‘I wish you’d tell me you’re coming home,’ she wrote.
