A chilling background emerges about the murder of Clara Ceccarelli, the 69-year-old Genoese merchant murdered yesterday with thirty stab wounds by Renato Scapusi, the partner who did not want to know about the end of their relationship.
“Clara had gone to pay for the funeral two weeks ago. She did not want to be a burden to the elderly father and son. Perhaps she understood that it would end badly.”
Today is the story of Herbert Lima, the Brazilian clerk who occasionally worked for Clara Ceccarelli, the merchant murdered yesterday afternoon in the center of Genoa by his 59-year-old ex-partner Renato Scapusi.
The seller’s story
Herbert this morning, like many other Genoese, placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the blinds of the shoe store in Via Colombo and then recalled the last moments he spent with Clara: “Yesterday he arrived at four o’clock and we took turns, actually there should have been when closing but she had to run an errand and so …. I knew everything, she told me she couldn’t take it anymore, she passed every day and when I was there she didn’t go in but yesterday unfortunately she found herself alone. Clara told me a few days ago that she had She went to pay for the funeral because she had strange dreams. As far as I know he had never been violent but it haunted her … “.
The man had been chasing her for almost a year, that is, since the end of their relationship. “However, there are no complaints against him or in other processes,” said Genoa attorney general Francesco Cozzi. The prosecutor, Giovanni Arena, has ordered the murderer’s psychiatric evaluation: the task will be conferred on Monday to the doctor Gabriele Rocca, while on Monday afternoon the forensic examiner Lucrezia Mazzarella will carry out the autopsy.
Investigations will also determine whether social services and mental health services had somehow taken over Scapusi, who had already mobilized police and ambulances for four suicide attempts, the latest a few days ago from a school window in the oriental citizen.

The garrison
Today in the afternoon in front of the store many Genoese gathered for a souvenir. There are roses and tulips and the first mimosas, anemones and azaleas and the messages of those who knew her and the tribute of those who had never crossed her. Via Colombo in Genoa: the blinds of Clara Ceccarelli’s sneaker are hidden by a pink banner that reads “It is not a raptus that kills us. Believe it.”
Two hundred, almost all women, paid homage to the umpteenth victim of femicide, a painful garrison also built on the memory of whom Clara “a true friend, a very sweet woman who had suffered so much” really knew her.
There are those who hope “that they will lock up that murderer in jail and throw away the key”, those who are afraid that “they will throw him out in two months”, those who feel resigned and pass by and leave “so much has always happened and it will always happen” and those who wish “a generational mentality change in the man-woman relationship.”
The garrison was organized by the Non una di less collective with the support of the Mascherona anti-violence center in Genoa: “we are shocked by what happened a few steps from us – said Manuela Caccioni, head of the Mascherona Anti-Violence Center – but we are not 13 women who they have already been assassinated in our country since the beginning of the year. Clara’s murder is yet another sad confirmation of a phenomenon that is unfortunately always current and widespread and that forces us once again to reflect and collectively assume responsibility. “
The murderer
“I went into the store and we started arguing. He wanted to go back to her, but Clara didn’t want to. So I hit her. ” These are the first words Renato Scapusi said to the investigators last night.
“After that, I wandered through the city to Galliera. I wanted to kill myself.” Scapusi, defended ex officio by the lawyer Stefano Bertone, is accused of aggravated voluntary homicide. Prosecutor Giovanni Arena, who coordinates the investigation of the cell phone and flyers, is considering whether to question the premeditation.
Scapusi came to the store with a knife that he later threw away when he escaped. However, he was unable to tell investigators where he dumped it. The man had been chasing the ex for months: he called her constantly, he showed up at the store.
But Clara had never denounced him, remaining firm in the will of not wanting to live together again. In the coming days the validation questioning will be established before the investigating judge. It is not excluded that the prosecutor can order a psychiatric report on Scapusi.
