Woman dies in collision with her ex's car, the man accused of femicide

From road homicide to femicide: the crime hypothesis has changed for Fulvio Ielmini, 73, investigated for the death of his ex-partner Pierina Buffon, 69, who was struck last Thursday in a head-on collision on the Cassano Magnago ring road, in the Varese area. According to the prosecution, the man would have voluntarily caused the impact with the Jaguar he was driving. The Busto Arsizio Prosecutor's Office ordered a search of his home. Ielmini is hospitalized and guarded at the Varese hospital. Prealpina reports it.

The lawyer Angelo Luini, Ielmini's defender, had already drawn attention to the mental conditions of his client: "It is fundamental, at this moment, to establish the mental conditions of my client". The relationship between the two, which lasted eight years, ended in June by the woman's will. According to the victim's family and lawyer, the man would not have accepted the separation. At the end of July a complaint was filed for alleged stalking behavior, including threats and stalking. An autopsy and a kinematic examination are expected in the next few days to reconstruct the dynamics of the crash.
