A well-known restaurant owner in Britain has been shot dead by her nephew who “had become addicted to cannabis”, it was said today at his trial.
69-year-old Sue Addis, owner of Donatello’s famous Pinocchio’s restaurants in the coastal city of Brighton was fatally attacked by 17-year-old nephew Pietro while he was in the bathtub, at her home worth milionë 1 million.
She had been stabbed 17 times in the brutal attack, and then left to die in the bathtub, it was heard said in court.
He then called the emergency number 999, saying: “I’m calling you to surrender, there was a murder.”
Today Pietro Addis, now 19, went on trial for the murder of his grandmother during the period of isolation of the pandemic, on January 7 last year.
He was seen in tears at the dock as details of the macabre murder were read. The young man originally lived with his father Leo and stepmother during isolation in Brighton.
He studied to become a chef in Brighton, and worked in the family restaurants.
But in the months before the murder the young man had started to become addicted to cannabis smoking and the behavior started to deteriorate until he started no longer showing up for work at the family restaurant.
This had caused some fierce clashes with family members so they decided to go live with their grandmother at her luxury villa in Withdean, Brighton.
Ms. Addis was a respected figure in the Brighton business community after opening her first Donatello’s Pinocchio restaurants since the 1980s.
Her three sons Leo, Stefano and Mikele worked in well-known seaside restaurants where well-known names of British sport and showbiz often came.
Addis pleads guilty to manslaughter but not murder.
The trial continues.
