"Kills ex with bolts", "How to stun a person with a bat", "Penalty for voluntary manslaughter".
These are some of the hundreds of searches, carried out from the beginning of June 2022 until shortly before the crime and found in the web history of Giovanni Padovani, arrested in Bologna for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Alessandra Matteuzzi, committed on August 23 at the woman's house.
The searches made by the suspect are listed in the IT technical consultancy filed by Angelo Musella, appointed by the Bologna Public Prosecutor's Office in the context of the aggravated homicide file.
Padovani waited for the ex under her house and actually beat her to death with a hammer and a bench.
In the notes on his cell phone on August 20, Giovanni Padovani wrote: "Insulating tape, hammer, rope (preferably handcuffs), have an invented chat between you and her where she tells you to come to her house and bring handcuffs".
On the 23rd he allegedly killed his ex-girlfriend.
Padovani has been in prison for voluntary homicide since the day of his arrest, immediately after the crime.
Meanwhile, it has been learned that before Christmas, in prison, Giovanni Padovani saved another prisoner from a suicide attempt.
He had entered the cameras of the ex's house to spy on her
- "They are the cameras of his house and he has his cell phone in his hand. I had managed to enter the cameras", wrote Giovanni Padovani on April 23, 2022, in a chat with his mother, after sending her a screenshot of her ex-girlfriend Alessandra Matteuzzi looking at her phone.
Apparently Padovani had managed to find a system to control the video surveillance images of Alessandra's house from his own device.
The chat is in the records of the investigation by the Bolognese prosecutor's office, which had the IT devices analyzed by a technical consultant, Angelo Musella.
Web searches
- In the more than 300 pages of the paper, all the web searches typed by Padovani are reported, many of which are of investigative interest: "stalking and violence against women how many years of imprisonment", "paying people to hit", "what is the sentence for kidnapping", "where to hit a person on the head to make him pass out", "best place to hide with a dead person", "where it is more difficult to trace a corpse", "with a strong blow to the head with a crowbar he then succeeds in scream", "stabbing penalty" and other such.
Padovani was also looking for information on prison: "You can use your cell phone in prison", "how many times can you go to see a prisoner" and "states where Italian laws do not apply".
The family lawyers: a meticulous plan from the ex
- "We have had the opportunity to analyse, albeit briefly, the substantial IT consultancy filed by Dr. Musella: if on the one hand we are not at all surprised by the meticulousness with which Padovani has studied, architected and planned, also evaluating various options for kill Alessandra Matteuzzi (the suspect even looked for how much it cost to hire a hitman...), on the other hand, humanly speaking, we are astonished to read, on several occasions, how a human being plans the death of a fellow man". say the lawyers Chiara Rinaldi and Antonio Petroncini, defenders of Alessandra's family members.
"Padovani - underline the lawyers - began to 'caress' the idea of killing Alessandra since the first days of last June and after having 'chosen' the homicidal method he,
