(Daily status, 12:31 pm). Foggia, December 9, 2020. They have been closed formally the preliminary inquiries of the Foggia Public Ministry (Public Prosecutor’s Office Marina Gravina) for the murder of the labor consultant Vincenzo Paglione, took place in Manfredonia on the morning of February 5, 2020, by the confessed 52-year-old criminal Biagio Cipparano.

As we read in the notice, which StatoQuotidiano was able to consult, the prosecutor also disputes the aggravating circumstance of premeditation, since Cipparano had the intention of killing his rival in love for at least ten days, that is, since he had had the definitive confirmation that he existed a clandestine relationship between the victim and his wife, which appears to have been going on for some time.

As confirmed to StatoQuotidiano the defender of the man, Cipparano responds at the time of the following crimes: “article 575.577 n. 3 cp (murder with the aggravating circumstance of premeditation, ed.), and it was also Reported in a state of freedom for the following crime: Article 61 No. 2 of the Penal Code Article 4 of Law 10/1975 (Common aggravating circumstance), in both cases, committed in Manfredonia on February 5, 2020“.

Still reading the notice of conclusion of the investigations, some truly gruesome details emerge, such as the amount of stab wounds inflicted on the poor victim (with a kitchen knife fitted with a 13.5 cm blade), who was struck in different parts of the body for at least fifteen stab wounds in total, of which at least two fatalities at heart level. A truly impressive ferocity that runs the risk of costing the accused a life sentence. In fact, PM Gravina also questions premeditation, why Cipparano he allegedly planned the murder for several days, further demonstrating to some witnesses heard during the investigation his intention to assassinate in revenge the labor consultant, accused of having a clandestine relationship with the murderer’s wife. It is recalled how Cipparano himself, who was taken to the Manfredonia Police Station a few hours after the incident, confessed to being the perpetrator of the crime.

The defender, the lawyer Michele Sodrio, tells StatoQuotidiano.it the conclusion of the investigation: “At the time that Biagio Cipparano confessed to the murder, I was not his defender, but I was able to verify in the following months that, at the time of the event, my client was in very unbalanced psychological conditions, due to a whole series of serious problems. family problems, already ongoing for some time. Right in the period between the murder, Cipparano lived, in fact survived, in a state of severe mental confusion, sleeping in the car for many nights and wandering aimlessly during the day.

“Without taking anything away from the seriousness of the gesture he made, I think those psychological conditions were decisive in what he did. My objective will be to highlight these circumstances and for the judges to exclude the aggravating circumstance of premeditation. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to access the abbreviated procedure for this type of event, so it is almost certain that it will be discussed during the hearing in court.“.
