Assassination, intentional murder, simple injuries, exposure to the danger of the life of others, threat, compulsion. The indictments are presented to the 37-year-old companion of the Eritrean woman after having fallen from the balcony of the fifth floor of a building in Via San Gottardo in Bellinzona on 3 July 2017. The Public Ministry announced that the public prosecutor Moreno Capella informed the parties involved of the imminent closure of the criminal prosecution procedure, in particular by proposing the prosecution of the accusation against the 37-year-old.
At the time of the facts, the man lived with the victim and their two young children. The 37-year-old was arrested immediately after the incident. A few months before the tragedy, the police had been alerted to a dispute by the couple during which the woman had already risked falling from the balcony. Many of the tenants of the building had defined it as an "announced tragedy".
