Case Alessandro Venier, his wife Mailyn Castro Monsalvo transferred to a protected structure for mothers with young children

Mailyn Castro Monsalvo could soon leave the Trieste prison to be transferred to a protected structure for mothers held with young children. The application presented by the defense and the 30 -year -old Colombian, accused of instigating and then materially accomplished together with his mother -in -law Lorena Venier, was accepted, the murder of her husband Alessandro Venier, 35, will leave the Trieste prison to be brought to Venice in a specialized community. A law in force since April 2023 allows a form of attenuated custody for mothers with children below the year of age to guarantee the continuity of the mother-child relationship.

The woman’s responsibilities have been fully recognized: it is therefore an alternative prison with the same limits as the prison but designed to protect the minor. The girl will therefore remain at the moment with her mother, but alternatives forms of custody with the family of origin of Mailyn in Colombia are also being evaluated. “The parents are relatively young and have an adult daughter,” confirmed the defense lawyer Federica Tosel, “the family is organizing himself to come to Italy and we will contact the Juvenile Court to start, if necessary, the custody practices”.

Instead, the request for house arrest for Lorena Venier, 61 years old, who remains in prison, was not accepted.

What happened to Alessandro Venier

According to the reconstruction of the prosecutor based on the circumstantial declarations of the victim’s mother, the crime was planned in detail. Alessandro would have been first narcotized with a lemonade. When women understood that he was about to awaken, an insight of insulin by his mother, a professional nurse, was practiced. Then the women tried to suffocate it with a pillow. But since the man was still breathing, it was Maiilyn who took the laces of the shoes and tighten them around the neck until the man has stopped breathing.
