Tragic Details: Who is Martina Patti, the mother who stabbed her five-year-old daughter 11 times?

The murder shocked the town of thirty thousand people on the southern slopes of Etna, while the baby's mother Martina Patti was arrested for the event.

I killed “, said 24-year-old when she confessed to the Carabines that after the crime, the girl's body had been buried in a field and that she had invented the story of a kidnapping.

Investigations are only in the beginning, and many aspects of this dramatic story remain to be clarified, despite the mother's jealousness of the relationship Elena had with her father and his new girlfriend.

But who is Martina Patti, arrested for killing her daughter?

Andrea Di Grazia, correspondent of Catania Today, has described Martina Patt's account from the words of those who knew him.

She has always had an internal concern, perhaps even related to her parents who didn't want her out, to stay with my son”, explained the 5-year-old grandmother from Rosaria Testa.

She adds: “but I don't know why she went this far. At times, she had a violent attitude toward Elena, though limited in certain jokes. Nothing that could suggest a more serious gesture”.

Although wrapped in excruciating pain, the old man shows compassion and tears when he talks about Martina saying: “I'm not mad at him, I'm very sorry”

Grandma was the one who accompanied the girl Elena the other morning on her first day of school.

I hugged him a lot by saying that the way I want him, nobody wants him. Maybe only her mother could love her the same way, but it didn't happen. My mother had an obsession with my son. It wasn't love. Because she betrayed him, as we knew in the past, pretending that nothing had happened. Now we've heard that she was with someone else, a probably built before she was with Alessandron, who had already rebuilt his life, dating a girl in Germany. This Martina had not accepted because she realized that she now had no dominance over my son”, the victim's grandmother stressed.

Meanwhile, other people who know Martina Pattin are also defined as a loving, but sometimes harsh and authoritarian, <x0 mother.

She saw to it that relations with her ex-husband's family were limited to brief greetings when she sent Elena to her grandparents' house.

“A cold woman”, according to the neighbours, who with her convincing lies about kidnapping had initially managed to dispel doubts from herself, in a highly calculated way.

Then it was “sedb” by carabiniers, but without expressing remorse for the event. Maybe no one will know what really went through this young woman's head before she killed her little daughter, Elena. /Balkanweb/
