Dismay and great sadness throughout Upper Padovana over the murder-suicide that took place on Sunday in Trebaseleghe in via Sant’Ambrogio 85, where Alessandro Pontin, 49, born in Noale but resident in Padua, killed his son Pietro de 13 years. and his 15-year-old daughter Francesca, stabbing them in the throat while they slept, then pointing the blade at himself, severing their carotid and jugular.
The find
As reported by PadovaOggi, to find the bodies was Alessandro’s brother and uncle of the two children who on Sunday, without listening to them, arrived at the house making the macabre discovery. The two teenagers lived with their mother in a house in the village of Arsego in San Giorgio delle Pertiche (Padua) and spent the weekend with their father as required by the post-divorce ruling. The two would arrive at Trebaseleghe on Saturday.
Carabinieri from the Padua provincial command, coordinated by prosecutor Sergio Dini, worked at the site until late at night. The three corpses were taken to the Padua morgue and an autopsy will be carried out in the next few days. The mother and ex-wife, a nurse in Camposampiero (Padua), contacted by the news, fell ill and was hospitalized where she is still in shock.
The reason
At first it appeared that the man had kidnapped the two children. Then it was learned how he killed them while they slept: both before dying would have tried to escape, failing. Pontin had been separated for some years from his wife, a 47-year-old Padovan from Arsego, and currently had a new girlfriend. Among the reasons for the gesture would be disagreements with the ex-wife for issues related to alimony that the man would not have paid for a while. Pontin, having done a number of odd jobs, was a boxer.
In the city
The murderous father was well known in Sant’Ambrogio, the village of Trebaseleghe where the double crime of children was committed. After working for a few years in a cooperative, he became passionate about organizing spiritual trips. Francesca studied at Newton Parini High School, while her 13-year-old son was still in high school.
