Martina Patti is the young mother who is behind the death of 5-year-old Elena Del Pozzo. Elena Del Pozzo is the daughter of Martina Patti and she confessed to being the murderer of her daughter. Martina Patti ended the life of her daughter in June 2022, in her home in Mascalucia, in the province of Catania.
There was a preliminary hearing before the Gup Stefano Montoneri against Martina Patti at the court of Catania. It was revealed Martina Patti faked a kidnapping soon after the death of her daughter but later confessed that she stabbed 5-year-old Elena Del Pozzo and buried her into a shallow hole not far from her home.
Due to the fact that Martina Patti had confessed, the decision to be taken by both the defense and the prosecution was quite obvious and anticipated.
Even though Martina Patti never explained or gave reasons for ending the life of her own daughter, that did not deter or prevent Etna Prosecutor’s Office from charging her with the crimes of aggravated premeditated murder, concealment of a corpse for having hidden the little girl’s body, and simulation of a crime for having staged the fake kidnapping in the first hours immediately following the crime.
Martina Patti was represented by her lawyer Gabriele Celesti and she did not comment on a possible request for a psychiatric assessment for Martina Patti.
The need to find out if the crime perpetrated by Martina Patti was premeditated was key to the trial. It was reported that on the day 5-year-old Elena Del Pozzo was murdered, it was her own mother who picked her up from her nursery and to the field where she killed her. It was revealed that Martina Patti killed her daughter with a high number of stab wounds.

Details of the mother of Martina Patti are yet to be updated. It was further revealed that Martina Patti inflicted 11 stab wounds on her daughter before putting her in 5 black bags.
