42-year-old Albanian Elvis Metvelaj, accused of murdering his Italian partner, who was found dead in front of the Trebisacce hospital, has kept his mouth shut in front of the black squads in Italy, at the preliminary hearing held today.
According to Italian media, it is learned that in the hearing held today, where it was expected to assess whether Metvelaj’s arrest was legal, referring to the evidence collected so far regarding the death of Italian Ornella Forastefanos, the Albanian chose not to answer the questions asked by the judge in the case.
It is also reported that the judge in the case withdrew to make a decision regarding the detention of the Albanian, the assessment of his detention and the security measure “prison arrest” requested by the Bari Prosecutor’s Office. While the decision is expected to be made in the coming hours, and to learn whether the Albanian Elvis Metvelaj will be found guilty of the murder of the Italian woman, which shocked everyone.
The victim’s daughter has also reacted to the tragedy, openly opposing any attempt to link the tragedy to her surname, while the cause of the incident, according to her, is the violence exercised by a man, here referring to the Albanian. The victim’s daughter has also been moved by the dedication made to her mother.
“I am strong, mom, but I still needed you, my mother, and not just my mom, but my best friend, that person who was always there when I had a problem, the shoulder I could lean on when I fell, and vice versa, you to me.”
You raised us alone, making a thousand sacrifices. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Ettore as if I were you, even though nothing will ever be the same without you.
I hope that where you are now is a better place, surrounded by fun, just like you liked, and days at the beach soaking up the sunshine.
I still wanted to make you a grandmother, and you would probably be angry if they called you grandma, because you said you were too young. But I know you would have loved them from the first moment.
“I love you forever, mom, and I will always be a strong woman, just like you taught me. I hope you find your peace, because we are not alone. You created two children who would give their lives for each other and we will give each other strength, just like you would want,” Ornella Forastefano’s daughter wrote on her Facebook.
As we reported on Sunday afternoon, Albanian Elvis Metvelaj was detained at the port of Bari by Italian authorities. The Bari Prosecutor’s Office has requested the formalization of the detention as well as the security measure “arrest with police” for him. Meanwhile, it is expected that the file for the murder of the Italian woman will then be transferred to the Castrovillari Prosecutor’s Office (Calabria), which is competent to conduct investigations into the murder of the 46-year-old, an event that occurred in the territory of Calabria.
Meanwhile, it is learned that the body of Ornella Forastefano has been transferred to Catanzaro, where the forensic examination will be carried out by the team led by Professor Isabella Aquila, at the “Dulbecco” University Hospital.
The autopsy is expected to shed light on the serious incident and provide answers on the nature of the wounds, the cause of death and the exact time when the Italian woman died. Until then, the court is expected to issue a decision on the fate of the Albanian who is the main accused in the murder of Ornella Forastefano.
