A life between Monte Carlo and Dubai: Who was the model brutally killed with an axe by her ex-partner in Italy?

A tragic murder took place last night in Milan, Italy, where 29-year-old model Pamela Genini was stabbed to death by her ex-partner, 52-year-old businessman Gianluca Soncin.

According to investigations, the 52-year-old had gone to Pamela’s home to try to convince her to resume their relationship. When she realized he had violent intentions and that her life could be in danger, she called a former partner for help. He immediately contacted the police. “I knew she wanted to leave. She had decided to get rid of him,” he later said during the investigation.

When the police arrived at the apartment door, Pamela reportedly said “they’re here” as she was opening it. However, before she could fully open the door, Gianluca dragged her onto the balcony and stabbed her dozens of times. Seconds later, when the police entered the apartment, they found Pamela’s lifeless body and Soncin injured in the neck as he attempted suicide.

He was immediately taken to the hospital, and after surviving the immediate risk to his life, he was interrogated and charged with femicide. Neighbors, who had witnessed previous incidents, reported that the perpetrator had caused earlier problems with the victim, threatening her and attempting to enter her apartment.

### Who was Pamela Genini?

Pamela was born in Strozza, a village in the province of Bergamo, to a Russian mother and an Italian father. She traveled the world pursuing her modeling career, working in cities like Monte Carlo, Milan, and Dubai. She was also known for participating in the show *“L’isola di Adamo ed Eva”* (“The Island of Adam and Eve”) at the age of 19. After that, she continued her modeling career and opened an online store for the brand *EP SheLux* with her friend Elisa Bortolotti.

Pamela was always described as a happy young woman with a great sense of humor. Neighbors often saw her walking her beloved dog, which she cared for deeply.

Regarding her relationship with Gianluca Soncin, it was known that they had been together for about a year.

Last summer, they went on vacation to the island of Elba. After a violent argument, Pamela decided to leave him, separating from him after he threatened to kill her dog.

A similar incident had occurred six months earlier, when neighbors witnessed another violent dispute between the couple. However, up until the tragic event, no official charges had been filed against Gianluca for violence or threats.

This horrific act of femicide has shaken the city of Milan and sparked outrage and concern over violence against women.
