Ronchi femicide, Morcaldi confesses: ‘I just wanted to scare her with violence’

Milan, 23 October (LaPresse) – He confessed to the murder, claiming that he only wanted to ‘scare her in a violent way’. Luigi Morcaldi made this statement when questioned by Milan prosecutors, talking about his relationship with Luciana Ronchi, which ended three years ago. It was me,‘ said the former bar owner, who was then a carer until 31 March 2025 for an elderly lady who was hosting him in her home. ’I thought two stab wounds, not 14. I didn’t understand anything anymore, I wanted to give her that shocking fear (textual, ed.), 14 stab wounds, I’m a murderer, doctor, I don’t know what to tell you. I heard about these things on TV.‘ Morcaldi denied premeditation (’Are you kidding? I didn’t even know where Luciana was coming from today. We haven’t spoken since 2022), describing it as a crime of passion (‘I saw her, I felt anger, hatred, all the evil they had done to me came flooding back’). In his statement, which was at times confused, he referred to missing money and his condition as a homeless person staying at the “Casa Jannacci” dormitory: ‘€14,000 worth of items disappeared from that house.’
