One armed with an ax, another with a knife attacked the older sister who was sleeping. Then after having wounded her, they fled to the street, where, however, they were tracked down by the carabinieri who arrested them.

The negative protagonists of the affair, which took place in Polaveno, in the province of Brescia, are two 17-year-old twin brothers.

In the house, at the time of the attack, the parents were also present, who heard screams, only to find out what had happened.

The injured young woman - 22 - was taken to hospital, where she underwent surgery. It wouldn't be life threatening.

The twins were interrogated for a long time in the barracks. No actual motive has been leaked for their gesture, but from what we learn they would have acted for futile and trivial reasons.

The story has aroused bewilderment in the village of 2,500 inhabitants, also because the family is described as “a very normal nucleus, decent people. All uncensored ". And the mayor, Valentina Boniotti also confirms:" We all know each other and the family involved is really made up of decent people. "

The two 17-year-olds were taken to the juvenile prison in Florence, at the disposal of the judicial authorities. They will have to answer for attempted murder.
