Murdered brothers had 'dozens of wounds'

TWO men who were fatally stabbed inside their Sydney home suffered a multitude of wounds to their face, chest, arms and hands during the attack, a court has heard.

Mario Frisoli, 52, and Albert Frisoli, 56, were found dead in their Rozelle home, in Sydney's inner west, in May 2009 by an employee of the elder man, the morning after the attack allegedly took place.

Giuseppe Di Cianni has pleaded not guilty to their murders.

His co-accused Josephine Pintabona has also pleaded not guilty to the murders and the alternate charge of being an accessory after the fact.

During their trial at the NSW Supreme Court on Wednesday, forensic pathologist Professor Johan Duflou said the Frisoli brothers sustained numerous defensive wounds to their hands during the attack.

Referring to a post-mortem report by his colleague Dr Rianie Van Vuuren, Prof Duflou said Mario suffered more than 30 injuries, including stab wounds through the cheek, neck and various wounds to the chest.

He said one stab wound through the front of the chest pierced his aorta - the large artery from the heart.

"Without emergency treatment it would almost certainly be fatal," Prof Duflou said.

"With expert emergency treatment you would stand a chance of survival."

Crown Prosecutor Mark Hobart, SC, previously told the court that Di Cianni and Albert Frisoli had a history marked by "animosity and violence".

The pair were co-directors of a construction company but their relationship soured after Di Cianni was diagnosed with cancer in 2000 and he came to believe Albert was defrauding him.

On the night of the stabbings, Mr Hobart said a neighbour saw a "little old lady" walking up to the door of the Frisoli brothers' home.

He alleged this was in fact Di Cianni, dressed in woman's clothing.

It is alleged that Pintabona drove Di Cianni to and from the scene.

The trial continues.
