Elva Aggiano was murdered 14 years ago by her husband Bruno. Of the four Aggiano children, three vowed never to speak to their father again. But their daughter Natalia renewed her relationship with Bruno and became his friend and companion until his death in 2006. Brunos brooding and possessive nature behind closed doors lead to the break down of his marriage to Elva, involving mental and physical abuse. Escaping onto the streets at 17, Natalia speaks for the first time about her parents relationship and her traumatic struggle to survive alone. Natalia eventually persuaded her mother and brother to leave the family home but it was not to last and they returned where Bruno was waiting to mercilessly stab Elva to death. This is Natalias fascinating story that led to her finding a way to live with forgiveness and unconditional love while at the same time honoring her mothers memory.

WARNING
M y dad knew he had a few calls to make. He would have to telephone the receptionist at the plastics factory where he was working to let them know that he wouldnt make his shift that afternoon. He had already called the police, telling them he had killed his wife and that they should come quickly as he didnt want anyone else to find her that way.
By anyone else, he meant his sons, my brothers. The youngest, 9-year-old Daniel, was playing outside with friends; the eldest, Emmanuele, was on his way back home with fish and chips for four. Another call went to my sister Daiana. He told her what he had done and asked her to come home to take care of your brothers. He was sure that she would obey him.
When the police arrived, they found the door to our family home open and my dad in the hallway on the phone, motioning them to follow him into our front room. Two officers followed him and found my mothers bloodstained body. She was lying on her back, her head facing towards the kitchen, which Mum would have known was the nearest exit out of the house. One of the officers radioed back to Scunthorpe police station saying: It is as per the phone call. This was necessary, as in the minds of the other officers called to the house, they imagine it would turn out to be a hoax.
A policeman checked Mums neck to try and find a pulse but it was clear that she was dead. He then noticed the axe lying to her left-hand side, as well as her chest wounds, and guessed they were the result of a knife attack. The policeman was struck by how calm and cooperative my dad was as he stood over her.
He had been calm since Mum had stopped struggling at some point during his attack, during the twelve times he had stabbed her with our kitchen knives and hit her with an axe. Her attempt to escape him had failed. She had not listened to his final warning to return to him and, as she fell face forwards onto our living room rug, my fathers victory was complete, she would never leave him again.
This was our house. It was somewhere Mum knew so well, somewhere she had been so proud of, a home to her as wife and mother. For now, her children were elsewhere and we were all that mattered to Mum. She had given up so much to raise us and had sacrificed so much trying to make her marriage work. All she had strived for was now in tatters; her home now little more than a murder scene and she herself was the victim. Now she lay on a rug she had chosen, staring lifeless at the ceiling as her home filled with police officers.
