The crime – according to what we learn from investigative sources – apparently took place after an argument. The couple's minor son was also present in the house at the time of the murder. Giuseppe 'Pinotto' Iacomino, who runs a small hotel in Ercolano with his family, entered the house where the support teacher (Ornella has a degree in philosophy) of the Santissimi Apostoli Art High School in Naples, with the key that he still had with him despite the separation of about two weeks. It was just after 4,30:XNUMX in the morning. Ornella who was in the bedroom woke up, she was sleeping next to her little son. The two began to argue in the kitchen, then the sudden outburst. Pinotto grabbed a knife and hit her several times. Ornella tried to defend herself, she ran away to the bedroom. But Pinotto's murderous fury was not appeased despite the presence of her son who in the meantime had woken up because of his mother's screams. And there he dealt the probably fatal blow. Pinotto ran away leaving the apartment on the third floor of via Filippo Cavolino a few steps from piazza Carlo III.

The memory on social media

Since yesterday morning, many colleagues and friends have wanted to remember the murdered teacher on social media. Her friend Federica Esposito's touching post was also a photo with the victim: "Ornella Pinto, a young 39-year-old teacher, has passed away, killed by her ex-partner, with 12 stab wounds to the abdomen.
one day this beautiful woman wrote to me: "hi little one, let's face it, adolescence is a real crap! but it is destined to be overcome and above all to be remembered with a smile just like it happened to me [...] always remember that like me there are many people who love you and that you will never be alone [...]

your main ally and friend to overcome difficult moments is in you! only when you learn to be a friend and to love yourself will you be able to accept the love and support of others […] do not fall into temptation and if it should happen imagine a caress on that little head full of thoughts and beautiful hair… that caress is mine! “
these are just a few of all the words that this woman spent for me, in the months of endless "chatter", and it is impossible to enclose in 4 lines the strength that she transmitted to me and all the things she taught me, I have always jealously preserved all this.
it's easy to talk about femicide and "numbers" when they don't touch you closely. Sit tibi terra levis 💔”.
