An afternoon of terror yesterday in Sassuolo, in the Modena area, where a woman of Sardinian origin, Elisa Mulas, was killed by her partner together with their two children aged 5 and 2 and their mother. The man then took his own life.
The survivors of this massacre are the great-grandfather and the first daughter that the 43-year-old had from a previous relationship, who was at school and for which the prosecutor has now ordered the protection.
And it was precisely from the school that the alarm went off because no one had turned up at the exit to bring the 11-year-old home. The teachers called Enrico, Elisa's brother, who went to his mother's house where his sister had moved with the children, Ismaele and Sami. Once inside, the images of five mangled bodies.
The police and ambulances swooped on the scene, but the doctors could not help but record the deaths.
Many people, friends and acquaintances of the victims arrived in via Manin.
From what was reconstructed, 38-year-old Tunisian Nabil Dahir, who worked in a local supermarket, would first go to a bar to buy two chocolate eggs, probably an excuse to have the door opened and meet the children. He and Elisa broke up a month ago, by decision of the woman who had returned to live with her mother, Simonetta Fontana, 64.
Then the blows of the knife, the attempts of the 43-year-old to save her children, all proved useless. Nabil killed her, the two children and her mother-in-law, and finally took his own life with the same weapon.
The investigators are focusing on all the details, the investigations continue today.
Meanwhile, the Municipality of Sassuolo will proclaim a day of city mourning on the day of the funeral. "A huge tragedy - comments the deputy mayor Camilla Nizzoli - which has affected the entire city and beyond. As soon as the investigating bodies give the authorization and the date of the funeral will be set, we will proclaim a day of mourning for the city as a sign of respect for victims and to show a concrete closeness on the part of the entire city of Sassuolo ".
In the past of Elisa Mulas there are threats received from another man, the father of the first daughter, and it seems that during the pregnancy she was mistreated. He, a 40-year-old Moroccan, was sentenced to eight months for stalking, which was then prescribed. But the Court of Appeal had confirmed the loss of parental authority.
"I'll put a knife in your belly" would have been one of the threats.
