Femicide in Castelnuovo del Garda: Reconstruction of the Crime On November 1, 2025, the Carabinieri discovered a disturbing scene in an apartment on Via Pellico in Castelnuovo del Garda, where a tragic case of domestic violence unfolded. Traces of drugs, including cocaine and marijuana, were found on the dining table, along with banknotes used for snorting and a significant amount of alcohol. Bloodstains on the floor led to the grim discovery of the body of Jessica Stappazzollo Custodio de Lima, 33, who had been stabbed 27 times in the bedroom. The woman had returned to live with her partner, Douglas Reis Pedroso, 41, despite previous incidents of violence and restraining orders that both had ignored. Currently charged with premeditated murder, the man is in custody as the crime occurred under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The relationship between the two was marked by conflict and abuse, with Jessica attempting multiple times to escape the oppressive situation. However, after removing a safety GPS device, she returned to the home where she had already suffered violence. Italian Version
