TALK about a woman scorned.
Cops say millionaire Ronald Vinci, who battered body was found stabbed, shot and battered in his Fort Lauderdale, FL mansion was killed by his jilted lover Catherine Marie Pileggi.
Furious that he had tried to end their relationship she shot him in the head, slashed his throat and the beat him and then planned to drop his body in the ocean.
Detective Travis Mandell said: “This is a brutal, brutal murder. I can’t imagine someone else doing this to another human being."
According to the arrest affidavit, Pileggi told one of Vinci’s friends: “I messed him up bad.’’
Her family said the pair met through their shared love of flying but after 20 years together, Vinci, 70, who made his millions with a number of Florida car dealerships decided to move on.
So the 54-year-old went round to their recently purchased $2.9 million mansion and killed him with two of his own guns.
Nearby neighbors said they heard a pop on June 27 and police found the body the next day.
