Italian model Pamela Genini is dead after authorities say her partner, over 20 years her senior, stabbed the young woman two dozen times on Tuesday (Oct 14).
Milan prosecutor Alessia Menegazzo has charged entrepreneur Gianluca Soncin, 52, with aggravated murder after he allegedly stabbed the 29-year-old 24 times “in the neck, back, chest, upper limbs and hands,” on the third floor terrace of her home, according to a translation of Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano.
Soncin, who had allegedly abused and stalked the victim, is currently hospitalised in serious condition after twice stabbing himself in the throat, though he’s expected to survive.
Genini was reportedly on the phone with her ex-boyfriend when Soncin – who she’d only been dating a matter of months – entered her Gorla district residence, having pretended to be a delivery man. He’s also believed to have used a copy of her keys, made without Genini’s knowledge.
Police were alerted to the assault at around 10pm local time, thanks to neighbours who heard Genini crying for help.
