Milan Woman, 29, Fatally Stabbed in Gorla as Police Detain Ex-Partner in Hospital

Prosecutors have placed the 52-year-old under custodial detention at Niguarda pending further investigation.

Overview

  • Pamela Genini was found mortally wounded in her apartment in Milan’s Gorla neighborhood on Tuesday night.
  • Police identified the suspect as her former partner, Gianluca Soncin, 52, who is being held under stato di fermo at Niguarda hospital.
  • Officers forced the door after an alert and found Soncin with a knife and Genini on the floor, according to police accounts.
  • After police entered, Soncin allegedly inflicted stab wounds to his own throat and was taken to hospital under guard.
  • The prosecutor questioned Soncin, who invoked his right to remain silent, as investigators assess witness reports of an earlier argument and a call to an ex-boyfriend who alerted police.
