Teen watched friend’s mother’s murder over video chat

By 09:31

Christopher Piantedosi, 40, is facing murder charges in the stabbing death of his girlfriend, Kristen Pulisciano, 38, in May 2012. 

A Massachusetts high schooler who watched a friend’s mother’s horrific murder over video chat said the woman’s killer was “wide-eyed” with fury and saying “You’ve got to die” as he repeatedly plunged the knife into her.
“She was saying ‘No, Chris, stop, I love you,’?” teen Michael Edwards said in Middlesex Superior Court Friday, recounting victim Kristen Pulisciano’s horrifying final moments, the Boston Herald reported.
Pulisciano’s longtime boyfriend, Christopher Piantedosi, 40, has been charged in her death.
The sickening attack occurred at Pulisciano’s home in Burlington, some 25 minutes north of Boston.
Edwards, 16, had been video chatting with Pulisciano’s 15-year-old daughter on May 3, 2012 when Piantedosi allegedly attacked the 38-year-old mother of two in the girl’s bedroom, the Herald reported.
Prosecutors said Piantedosi kicked in the girl’s door and threw Pulisciano on the bed before stabbing her several times.
Edwards said the wild-eyed killer’s jaw was clenched as he hissed “You’ve got to die” over and over again.
Pulisciano’s daughter called police, while a horrified Edwards watched the attack through the camera in her iPad.
Pulisciano was later found by authorities with a knife sticking out of her neck.
Cops said she was stabbed more than 30 times.
The defense has argued that Piantedosi suffers from bipolar disorder and tried to kill himself in the days before the alleged attack.
They plan to argue that he did not have “the mental capacity and intent” to kill, the Herald reported.
