The screams, the gesture and the neighbors | Yesterday morning some people feel screams coming from the number 86 of Via Burma, Eur. The cries are Martseniuk Oksana, Ukrainian maid of 40 years. One of the neighbors called the police at that point. In those moments he rails against Oksana Frederick Leonelli, a few weeks in the house: man stabs woman and decapitated using a large knife
Even a heinous crime against a woman. At present, however, there seems to be an emotional bond between victim and perpetrator. That reading gives Lea Melandri , historical feminist and essayist? ‘would underline, however, the appearance of the sex of the victim and speak of femicide: the base, in fact, there is always an ambivalent relationship with the female. “
Now we are seeing an escalation. What is the first thing he thought when he heard of the execution in Rome?
“I was impressed by the staging militaristic, which reflects the cultural and historical context in which we live. I came to make a quick connection with the beheading of American reporter James Foley. “
Do you think it was a mistake to show its images?
“I could not give a clear opinion. I think the horror goes testified. But one thing is the image, which can produce effects at a subconscious level and act on impulses repressed, especially in the mind of a person with traits of madness; another is the tale oral or written, which is mediated. “
The thirty-five Roman may have acted only driven by madness?
“Madness is an element, but not the only one. The woman killed was apparently a domestic and foreign to come: we are the difference of class and culture. The murderess felt superior, acted against the domestic worker because he considered inferior: weak and submissive from many points of view. “
Recent news reports have identified a new target: the children. Why?
“It’s an indirect way of hitting their wives or girlfriends, removing them what they hold most dear.”
As ever, despite the campaigns against femicide, the crimes do not decrease?
“I wish I could explain it with the ancient heritage that has seen the submissive woman and man ruler, an idea of masculinity and male dominance unchallenged for millennia, unaware he had a confirmation, handed down from father to son. “
It is not so?
“It’s too, but not only that. When I go to make presentations in my book Love and violence. The nuisance factor of civilization , written for Branded Boringhieri, I always say that perhaps feminism has not investigated enough about another component of femicide. “
Which one?
“It’s true that we have inherited the idea of the weak woman by definition. But there is also another experienced male perception of women, as a power that gives life and ensures continuity. This infantilization male was encouraged by the women, who began to abandon difficulty with this maternal role only now. If we think about it, the woman takes care of man since he was born he dies, he does if he is healthy or if you are hurt. “
Well, it is not to be helped to distance itself from these duties of care.
“Sometimes you do not want to give up, is hard. And then I add a great loneliness by man, because women are now discovering the independence thanks to the solidarity between them, in a collective consciousness. The man can not help but feel threatened, and act accordingly. “
The intervention and confrontation | Police enter the villa using a scale and meanwhile calls for the intervention brigade of the fire. The killer is masked, perhaps not to be identified, and attacking officers and firefighters with a knife, probably the same one used to kill the woman. Leonelli, in this way, is able to break through that allows him to reach his gray sedan parked a short distance
The shooting and death | Leonelli gets into his car and tried to flee. It is at this point that the officers opened fire on him. The 35 year-old is joined by at least one gunshot wound and died during transport to the hospital. On the front window of his gray sedan are two bullet holes. An autopsy, scheduled for today, will say something more about the exact dynamics: at the moment there are no police investigation
