Padua – “He wanted to punish me like this, taking away the most beloved thing in the world, my children.” Roberta Calzarotto condemned to live forever suspended between pain and remorse, a tangle of torments, the “yes” and “buts” of the past, her life before Sunday, the day her two children were murdered in the house of the ex-husband then commits suicide in the height of a terrifying act of lucid insanity. Francesca, 15, and Pietro, 13, were stabbed by their father Alessandro Pontin, 49, a former parquet player with a passion for holistic disciplines.
The crime scene is a four meter long corridor, with traces of blood that draw trajectories of drag, of struggle, of perseverance. Traces of blood, going backwards, lead to the room where Francesca and Pietro slept. It all started there, probably at dawn, when his dad woke up. Each trace of blood suggests a sequence of that fierce aggression. He gave his boys the first blows to the throat, couldn’t finish them. The boys managed to crawl terrified and incredulous out of the room, already injured, a desperate attempt to run towards the front door to escape, to call for help, to save themselves from those deadly blows. His escape stopped there, against a closed door, a stone’s throw from the dining room. The father joined them and beat again until he killed them. Then he pointed the sword at himself and took his own life.
The slaughter after an exemplary day lived together, with the evening walk, dinner for three and the plan to have lunch with the grandmother the next day. Now the mother lives a terrible nightmare from which, however, she can never wake up. And she says this was a tragedy foretold for her.
Who was her ex-husband?
“He has always been aggressive with me, but not with others. I tried to rebel, that’s how it ended. “
So you claim it was violent?
“It was violent from the beginning, right after the wedding. That’s why I parted ways. Can you live with a violent man who scares you? I didn’t make it. “
Have you ever asked for help?
Of course I did, but the attitudes that I considered aggressive were not enough for the police. Obviously women must have a face of blood to believe ”.
His accusation is serious.
“A serious accusation? How can you kill two children like that? What hurts me the most is that I know he wanted to hit me. They weren’t the target, it was me.
What father was Alessandro?
“He was never violent towards them, but he never cared about them. He used them to be invited to dinner at our friends’ houses. That man also lived off these files.
Why do you think he killed them?
«I was deeply angry because I had a good life again, with a new partner. The guys had a great time here with us while on the other hand they weren’t always happy to go there. Life has gone well here, much better than before.
What about the food? What is the conflict that is so much talked about?
“After the separation he gave me almost nothing: a hundred euros here, a hundred there. Never a fixed transfer, never an income I could count on, beyond my salary as a nurse. “
Why didn’t you give him money?
“He said he didn’t have any and then I found out that he went on a trip to Australia, Spain, Portugal. It was discontinuous, it did not respect the obligations included in the sentence. He saw his children for two days and then he skipped three weeks, another day and then he was gone. At one point he came back saying that he wanted to see them constantly. And so we did. But still no money.
Did you report him?
“Yes, the judge ruled that he should have given me 200 euros a month. I think it is the minimum that can be asked, there is no lesser amount to cover the support of two children. And I to raise those two boys alone, without help.
But did he give you the money or not?
«No, he paid the bill just a few months ago, thanks to the criminal proceedings opened with my complaint. To raise the money he made the rounds of friends and family, telling everyone that I had denounced him and that I wanted to ruin it.
After payment of the amount owed, was the legal matter also closed?
“The judge wanted to close it. All archived ».
Have you met Alessandro’s new girlfriend?
“Sure, I still remember the phone call. He told me that he is a perfect father and that I am a bad person. He said that with the lawsuit I just wanted to incriminate him.
When did you last see your children?
“On Saturday afternoon, when I accompanied them to their father’s house, the murderer who was not arrested and who took them from me forever.”
