After the autopsy on the corpse of Liliana Resinovitchthe 63-year-old who disappeared from her home in Trieste last December 14 and was found lifeless on January 5 in a grove of the former psychiatric hospital, the Prosecutor leaves open both the hypothesis ofhomocide than that of suicide. The coroner Fulvio Costantinides did not detect any sign of violence on the poor Liliana’s body, no traces of a firearm or stabbing and no sign of strangulation, but the hypothesis of suicide does not convince the woman’s family and this certainty puts d ‘agreement between them people close to her who exchange mutual accusations, leaning towards the murder trail.
Lilly, as her friends called her, was found in a fetal position, inside two black bags garbage bags open, with the head tucked into two nylon bags closed at the neck not tightly and this circumstance also pushes public opinion to to discard the hypothesis that the woman took her own life. Why would a person who intends to end it go to an inaccessible place between brambles and bushes and slip into two black garbage bags?
Someone has drawn a similarity with the death of the former president of Eni Gabriele Cagliari than in the period of Tangentopoli he committed suicide by choking himself with a plastic bag on his head; but it is natural to observe that Lilly was not a recluse in prison and therefore she had several alternatives, perhaps even the possibility of making an extreme gesture in a more intimate place such as her own home. Although there are no suspects for the moment, the attention of the investigators and the media focuses mainly on Lilly’s husband, Sebastiano Visintin72-year-old retired photojournalist, who since the early hours of his wife’s disappearance has never denied himself to newspapers and TV, releasing a whole series of statements, sometimes even in conflict with each other and, especially in recent times, pointing the finger at Claudio SterpinAn 82-year-old former marathoner, with whom Lilly had been in a romantic relationship for about a year.
According to Claudio, Lilly was planning to spend a romantic weekend with him to celebrate the anniversary of their first meeting, which took place on December 19, 1981 and, after that trip, he would have left Sebastiano to go and live with him. According to Sebastiano, between him and Lilly, after 30 years of marriage, there was an idyllic relationship made of mutual love and tenderness and there was no air of crisis. It must be said that Sergio, Lilly’s brother, her cousin and two neighbors, friends of the couple, they tend to cast shadows on Sebastiano and in the last days they fear, in addition to the possible passionate motive caused by jealousy and the refusal to be abandoned, also a probable economic motive motivated by the fact that Sebastiano received only a minimum pension and Lilly instead, in addition to the good pension as a former employee of the Region, also had a treasure aside amounting to about 50,000 euros.
Sergio revealed that his sister would have hidden the codes of her current account behind a painting in the bedroom without her husband’s knowledge and that after Lilly’s disappearance that piece of paper has disappeared. Sergio claims that Sebastiano frequently asked for money to his wife, even a sum that would be around 27,000 euros as revealed by the broadcast “Quarto Grado”, to give them to the son born of a previous marriage, accusations that Sebastiano and his son reject to the sender saying that having used that money in actually it would be Lilly’s brother.
It is likely that the investigators they are working without too much fuss also in the direction of a bank check to ascertain who was the recipient of Lilly’s donations. Claudio, Lilly’s special friend, claims that everything was ready for their new life together: a journey into Istriaa gold medal as a gift for the anniversary and even a new apartment to rent, all elements that he will have to demonstrate to support the actual existence of his relationship with Lilly, of which Sebastiano says he was at dark until the moment of his disappearance.
Between exchanges of mutual accusations and motives that could include the passionate element as well as the economic one, the mystery of the death of poor Lilly still seems far from being resolved.
