The murder victim's fiance, Robert Gojceta, has taken charge of the dolphin's care but has been unable to revive her.
Dolphin mourns murder victim
WHEN a young dolphin was rescued from the Adriatic Sea, distressed and bruised, she was nurtured back to health by a dedicated trainer, who took responsibility for her care.
Now the trainer is dead, the victim of a frenzied attack by her neighbour in the Italian town of Riccione where she lived - and the dolphin is reportedly dying of a broken heart.
Tamara Monti, 37, was stabbed to death at her flat in Riccione by Alessandro Doto, 35, who lived next door with his elderly parents – had been driven mad by the incessant barking of the two dogs Ms Monti left in her flat while she was working at the dolphinarium.
Keepers at the water park said yesterday they had lost not only "a marvellous trainer" but were also in danger of losing Mary G, the dolphin that Ms Monti had reared and cared for after it was found two years ago in the harbour at nearby Ancona.
The dolphin is refusing her daily diet of milk and squid and has lost 50kg since Ms Monti was murdered.
The sea mammal's weight has fallen to just 160kg and she has failed to respond to medication for a gastric infection.
