Why It Matters
The victim and the suspect had a relationship that lasted eight years, which ended last June. The woman had filed complaints of stalking behavior.
In Cassano Magnago, in the province of Varese, a 69-year-old woman lost her life yesterday morning, Friday 16 October, in a head-on collision with another car driven by her 73-year-old ex-partner. The victim was driving along the Cassano ring road when the crash occurred, initially attributed to a possible illness on the part of the woman behind the wheel. However, the investigators' investigations revealed that what at first seemed like a tragic accident may not have been accidental. The Prosecutor's Office has opened a case for road homicide and investigations are still underway to clarify the dynamics of the collision. The autopsy and further investigations will clarify the dynamics. Rescuers confirmed the woman's death on the spot. The other motorist involved was transported by air ambulance to the Circolo di Varese hospital for leg injuries.
The son: “My mother waited and chased”
The two were linked by a relationship that ended last June. The woman's family members filed a complaint, asking the local police coordinated by the public prosecutor of Busto Arsizio, to verify the hypothesis that the impact was not accidental. The man is under investigation for vehicular homicide. One of the woman's sons declared to the Tg3 cameras: "She was chased by her ex who took justice into his own hands. She was waited for and also followed, as demonstrated by the videos I have in my pocket".
The woman had already reported her ex-partner
The victim's lawyer reported that the woman had already reported alleged stalking behavior on the part of her ex-partner. "At the end of July we had already reported the man's behavior to the judicial authorities." In recent days we were closing the brief to be filed with the Prosecutor's Office so that the crime against him could be perfected", declared the lawyer Cinzia Botta. According to reports, the man would not have resigned himself to the end of the relationship which lasted eight years and was interrupted by the woman last June. In the background, the lawyer reports, there would have been threats, arguments and stalking. After learning of their mother's death, Buffon's children informed the investigators of the precedents. "I don't want to add details because the investigation is ongoing. Certainly Mrs. Buffon's children want to get to the bottom of the matter and are asking for the truth about what happened,” explained Botta.
The investigations
This morning the local police officers of Cassano Magnago carried out new investigations to reconstruct in detail the head-on collision between the two cars caused, according to the first reconstruction, by an illness on the part of the woman. According to initial findings, it was the 73-year-old's Jaguar that invaded the oncoming lane, just as the small car driven by Buffon was arriving.
