Gemona murder trial: Reconstruction of Alessandro Venier's death

During a hearing at the Court of Assizes in Udine, investigators reconstructed the final hours of Alessandro Venier, who was murdered and dismembered in his home in Gemona on July 25, 2025. The defendants are his mother, Lorena Venier, who has confessed to the crime, and his partner, Mailyn Castro Monsalvo.

Evidence presented includes surveillance footage, phone data, and digital searches regarding lime and bins. Prosecutors allege the murder was premeditated, suggesting a narcotic was added to a beverage. Surveillance captured the victim alive at 3:58 PM, while later footage showed Lorena Venier transporting a blue bin. The victim's body was later discovered hidden in a bin containing lime.

Testimonies explored the volatile relationship between the victim and the defendants. Witnesses described Alessandro as having expressed frustration with Mailyn’s parenting and mental health, while others noted Lorena appeared exhausted and fearful. Conflicting accounts were provided by a social worker, who described Alessandro as an attentive father, and various acquaintances regarding the family's domestic tensions.
