The Modena prosecutor's office is
investigating with the hypothesis of the crime of incitement to
suicide in relation to the death of an inmate in Modena, accused
of femicide, judicial sources said Sunday.
The case concerns the death of the engineer Andrea Paltrinieri,
50, from Mirandola, found lifeless about ten days ago in the
cell of the Sant'Anna prison where he was spending his detention
following the murder of his ex-wife, the 41-year-old Belarusian
Anna Sviridenko, which occurred in June last year.
At the moment the file has been opened against person or persons
unknown.
Paltrinieri, sources said, was the victim of beatings in the
summer by other inmates, as well as insults and threats because
of his alleged crime.
The opening of the probe, reported by the Modena edition of Il
Resto del Carlino newspaper, will also serve to understand if
there were any warning signs, and, if so, if they were
underestimated, of the man's potential intentions.
Paltrinieri strangled Sviridenko, a specialist in Radiology at
the Policlinico of Modena, on the evening of June 10, 2024, a
few hours before a court hearing in Innsbruck (Austria) during
which the custody of the couple's two young children was set to
be discussed.
This, as it later emerged, was one of the elements of tension
between the two.
It was Paltrinieri himself who turned himself in to the Modena
Carabinieri, telling the soldiers that the woman's body was in
the van he had parked in front of the barracks.
Since then he had been detained in the Modena prison.
The trial had not yet begun.
