Lecce, the referee De Santis and his girlfriend killed: “You screamed the name of a man”

A name, Andrea. And an object, a yellow backpack. For now, they are the only two concrete elements, together with the examination of cell phones and printouts, which can direct investigations to unmask the murderer ofDaniele De Santis, 33, soccer referee, e Eleonora Manta, 30 years old, graduated in Law, a few months ago employee of INPS in Brindisi. Andrea is certainly the name of one of the witnesses who saw the murderer go away, and lives on the same landing of the apartment owned by Daniele in which the two young men killed were seen. But it could also be the name of the killer.

The quarrel on the stairs

in any case, the name that Eleonora screamed as her executioner finished her with stabs in the belly. The victims and the murderer probably went up together in the apartment on the second floor of via Montello – not far from the central station – and here, after a fierce quarrel that alarmed the condominiums due to the crash of broken glass and the screams of the three, the murderer killed Eleonora first and then Daniele. The latter chased him down the stairs and finished him on the first flight, raging on the lifeless body. Then, he left at a brisk pace, but without running. Just as Andrea, the witness, was looking out the door of the house, noticing the yellow backpack that the killer was carrying on his shoulder.

In a motorcycle suit

For the rest, as he told investigators, that man appeared to him only as a black silhouette, dressed in a motorcycle suit, a black hood and black leather gloves. Andrea called 113. In a moment, Eleonora’s mother was also notified, who arrived at Daniele’s house. He asked about his daughter and immediately understood. The murderer enjoyed the confidence of the boys if he was allowed into the house, but no one can yet give himself an explanation for such a ferocious crime. Of course, if the killer arrived armed he was ready to kill. From the courtyard of the building and even from the street it is possible to see anything that happens on the staircase of the building because it is visible, protected by a large transparent window. However, those who were chatting in the street around 9.30pm on Monday say they didn’t notice anything. Only ten condominiums and the video surveillance cameras located in that street will be able to add other elements useful for the reconstruction of a double murder so far hanging from a yellow backpack.
