(ANSA) - Viareggio, September 21 - The father of Nicolina
Pacini, a 15-year-old who died Thursday after being shot by her
mother's ex-partner in the southern town of Ischitella on
Wednesday, said that the killer had been reported to police.
The killer, 37-year-old Antonio Di Paola, was found dead in
countryside nearby on Wednesday after using the same gun to
shoot himself.
He was apparently motivated by the desire for revenge after
splitting up with the girl's mother - Donatella Rago, 37.
The woman had reportedly recently returned to Viareggio,
where her ex-husband lives, but Nicolina was in Ischitella in
the care of her grandparents.
"It was a nightmare. Every day he called her (the mother), he
sent text messages, intimated her," Ezio Pacini told La Nazione.
"He threatened us and our children, who had nothing to do
with it.
"We went to the Carabinieri police in Viareggio and
Ischitella. We showed them the messages and had them listen to
the audio.
"But no one did anything. They let that beast hurt our
child".
