Through His Eyes Only

Vincenzo Rulli

Description

This book is in part autobiographical in that it examines the life of Vincenzo Rulli. It is a story that needs telling. It needs telling because his life commences with an awareness of him being disassociated from his body. It needs telling because it traces the struggles of his parents and the history behind their decision to leave their country of birth and migrate to Australia in search of a better life. It is a story that needs telling because it chronicles the happy years when the family lived, worked together, children married and grandchildren and parents visited grandparents on a weekly basis, and grandchildren played together. It needs telling because it is filled with paranormal phenomena that followed Vincenzo from birth to the murder of one of his nieces and beyond. It needs telling because it chronicles thirty-four years of struggles by Vincenzo and the police of the state of NSW who having arrested charged and convicted one person, rested on their laurels, notwithstanding evidence within their own brief that points to the complicity of others, it needs telling because Vincenzo gathered evidence that should have been gathered by police and that even though this evidence supports the hypothesis that more than one person was involved, the police could not be moved from their position that only one person was involved in the murder of his niece. It needs telling because this story is proof positive for the proposition that good guys don’t always win, and yes you can get away with murder.

Introduction
As for myself, I have always wanted to author a book. The subject matter has always eluded me. I have, during my life, become familiar with a gentleman who will be referred to by the pseudonym of Vincenzo Rulli, who during his lifetime has also dreamed of authoring a book, and it is his story, with his assistance, that I propose to tell.
What is in the prologue below comes from newspaper articles written at the time when, sadly, this event took place. Additional material to that which was reported in the newspaper articles comes from suspicions held by Vincenzo. In this work, to protect the anonymity of witnesses, the names used are fictitious for legal reasons. The story is real.
Vincenzo is currently in the seventh decade of his life, and he and I, looking back over all that has taken place in his life, believe that his story is worth telling because it is indented with paranormal phenomena. For many years, he has been at odds with the police of the state of NSW and if, for nothing else, those events should be recorded. The victim, mentioned in the prologue of this treatise, is one of his nieces, who was murdered at the tender age of 24; the police brief presented to the department of public prosecutions (DPP) charged her father-in-law with her murder. Vincenzo has always believed and continues to believe that more than one person was involved, but despite evidence within their brief and subsequent evidence gathered by him and put before them that suggested this involvement, the police sat on their laurels and refused to undertake any further investigations.
His entreaties did not stop with the police; over the years, they included the then premier of NSW, police ministers, solicitor for public prosecutions, and director and deputy director for public prosecutions. I am told by Vincenzo that a long time ago when he discussed the matter with the then director for public prosecutions, the assistance received at the time was that of being given the email address of the then commissioner of police. Vincenzo contacted the commissioner’s office. The contact was acknowledged; he was told that he need not do anything further, raising his hopes that the matter would be revisited. Time passed, and nothing concrete ever eventuated. Throughout and over the years, all of Vincenzo’s efforts had all been to no avail. From time to time, he pondered why this was so, why those in positions of power who could have, and should have, delivered the justice that his niece deserved for a life that was so cruelly taken were unable or unwilling to deliver. This, to him, presents as the million-dollar question, to which even as of today, for him, there has been no rational answer.
The conclusion that he has come to, which I am asked to expand on as we get further into this book, is that the universe is guided by unforeseen forces that play on our consciousness, and decisions made, in retrospect, are not always the ones that we could or should have made. And as will become apparent, even to this day, he continues to partly blame himself for the death of his niece. Over the years, his mind has been invaded by questions whose relevance only served to document the stress and confusion that he has been labouring under, questions such as if only he had acted differently, if only he had taken heed of premonitions that warned him of the impending danger that his niece was faced with, his niece might be alive today. These thoughts have invaded and continue to invade his very being, daily at first and immediately after the event; after more than thirty years, they have become less frequent. Though less frequent, from time to time, they still come back to haunt him. Total escape from thoughts such as this is impossible; the self-blame game continues, and to this day, he still feels responsible for what happened to her.
The exercise of trying to rationalise events as they have occurred is important because, if for nothing else, they reveal the state of his confusion because he knows that he was forewarned of the impending danger by what he believes to be a superior entity, which at first instance prompted him to give a warning. The warning that he gave was veiled; it could and should have been so much more. Call it a premonition; call it what you will. His personal belief is that the series of messages that he received was from God. There was not just one message; different messages invaded his thoughts daily for at least one week after the initial warning. Those thoughts urged him to take a certain course of action which he did not take. As will become clear when I document events before her death as explained to me and as the events unfolded in the worst of possible ways, the initial warning that he gave was not sufficient to save her life; and over the years, he has been left wondering whether the result might have been different had he followed and taken the course of action that he was being urged to take at the time and, in retrospect, should have taken.
The mind is an enormously powerful instrument, and in saying that, he recognises that in seeking to protect himself to maintain his sanity, he has often rationalised and concluded that had he taken a different course, she still would have been murdered and that the entirety of the blame could have been laid at his feet for interfering and not minding his own business. Given his firm belief that those messages were direct messages from God, he also recognises the real possibility that had he acted upon messages given and received, she may well be alive today. In the end, he finds himself the prisoner of a conundrum that he is unable to resolve.
Vincenzo, during parts of his life, has been aware of a connection between himself and the spiritual world and is aware that, as a lawyer, introducing the paranormal into a criminal investigation will be off-putting to some and that the recounting of events connected to the paranormal will not be believed and will be discarded by many as the product of an irrational and confused mind; yet as I sit here in front of my computer and knowing Vincenzo to be a man of honour, I am determined to tell his story as he experienced it and recounted to me. An appreciation of potential negativity from various quarters does not allow either of us to deviate from the path that we have chosen. His story is tragic and heart-rending, the warnings received are real, and if this book does nothing more than lead a single unbeliever back to God, then Anna’s life will, in a small way, have been of benefit to that person.
Over the years, Vincenzo and his eldest brother, the father of the deceased, wrote to and tried to move those in positions of power to do a review of the brief of evidence. The one time when it was reviewed, the reply, which will be fully documented at a later stage, reiterated the view of the police that the evidence within the brief did not support his and his brother’s belief that, on the day of Anna’s murder, more than one person were involved. In this treatise and as we move further into the body of our book, we will refer to evidence in the police brief, requisitions raised but not followed through, and evidence collected by Vincenzo, all of which were made available to police at various stages as that evidence became known. Whilst a host of requisitions raised were neve
