Milan Judge Orders Soncin Held in Pamela Genini Killing, Citing Premeditation

The custody order describes a planned break-in using a copied key and flags a continuing danger to people close to the victim.

Overview

  • Gip Tommaso Perna validated the arrest and ordered pre-trial detention at San Vittore, confirming aggravating factors of premeditation, stalking, cruelty, futili motives and the relationship bond.
  • The ruling says the attack was organized at least a week earlier with a duplicated key and two folding knives, and warns he could target the victim’s ex-boyfriend and possibly relatives.
  • Soncin exercised his right to remain silent; described by his former court-appointed lawyer as not lucid, he has now appointed a new defense attorney.
  • Searches seized a cache of knives, several blank-firing pistols and spare keys at his Cervia residence, while police later found psychotropic drugs and a second knife in his car.
  • An autopsy has been set as investigators reconstruct calls and texts showing Pamela’s pleas for help and examine why earlier abuse reports in 2024 did not trigger protective measures or a Scudo alert.
