Kevin Barreca attempted to defend himself . Another tragic chapter is added to the Altavilla Milicia massacre , in which Kevin was killed together with his 5-year-old brother and his mother Antonella Salamone during a crazy exorcism of his father, aided by two religious fanatic friends and his other 17-year-old daughter.
Kevin, 16 years old, managed to bite Sabrina Fina and kick Massimo Carandente, the two self-styled "healers" who participated in the atrocious crime . A strenuous defense that did not save his life, the signs of his desperate attempts were found on the body of the woman who, when questioned, before making use of the right not to answer, said that the problem of Kevin's family was aggression boy's .
The circumstance emerges from the precautionary custody order in prison against Giovanni Barreca, Massimo Carandente and Sabrina Fina. Barreca's daughter, a 17-year-old girl who admitted her responsibilities and claimed responsibility for her actions, is also imprisoned for the crime .
Today a procession of school children and young people welcomed the bodies of Kevin and his brother, Emanuel, to Altavilla Milicia. « I told my daughter that her partner left. It is located in another municipality in Italy. He had to leave because his father had found another job. What could I say to my five-year-old daughter » says the mother of a classmate from the kindergarten attended by Emanuel without being able to hold back her tears.
Mayor Pino Virga proclaimed city mourning and organized the funeral chapel in the city council headquarters, open until 8pm this evening. The two coffins were accompanied in procession to the Zucchetto hall of the Municipality. Many went to pray and say goodbye to the victims of a crime that caused shock and great emotion in the town.
«The community is truly on its knees, the wounds will remain, we cannot forget this horror, we must look forward and go back to living. The Municipality is obviously close to the family from an emotional and material point of view. In the next few weeks, when Antonella Salamone's remains will be returned, we will organize another moment of sharing", announces the mayor.
«At this stage it is good to remain silent and the community was very impressed by what happened - said Marshal Ettore Cannabina, commander of the Carabinieri station -. It touched those who intervened and those who had to endure all this . I was inside the house, and it's better not to say anything. Strong and touching scenes."
Also at the funeral home was the Archbishop of Palermo Corrado Lorefice . «We must be wary of those who say they are healers or saints, we all be wary. But it is also the sign of mental fragility and perhaps the consequence of an approach that we Westerners have given ourselves. We have given up on the true face of God and others risk taking over. Today, after all this, we still need God ."
