A top European Union lawmaker has made a gruesome discovery after finding her murdered husband’s dead body in his car.
Italian MEP Francesca Donato found her husband Angelo Onorato dead in his vehicle with a zip tie tightly wrapped around his neck, indicating he was murdered.
Additionally, Donato was also with her daughter when they found Onorato’s body in his car.
Both women insist that Onorato was murdered, according to Euronews.
The body of the 54-year-old architect was found in Palermo, the capital of the Italian island of Sicily, according to Agenzia Nova.
The outlet noted that police confirmed, “Onorato had something tied tightly around his neck, perhaps an electrician’s zip tie.”
However, the report states that police are still investigating and have yet to clarify the cause of death.
In a social media post, the couple’s daughter Carolina wrote:
“No one dare say or even think that my father committed suicide.
“They killed him,” she declared.
“He was not a person who would have ever left his family like this, and above all, as I personally found him together with my mother, I can tell you that it was not a suicide but a murder,” she added.
