The 73-year-old was found in her home in Via Crocefisso with a deep head injury, wrapped in a blanket and with some towels covering her, including her face. The body was lying in the living room of the house and in a nearby room, sitting on the floor in a catatonic state, was the 35-year-old son. years old, who babbled but couldn't speak. The man will be arrested in the next few hours for voluntary manslaughter . The Prosecutor's Office is examining the position of the 35-year-old, who had taken psychotropic drugs and remains guarded in hospital for now. In the house - an apartment in a building owned entirely by the Rancilio family, a well-known Italian-Swiss real estate family - there were many medicines.
According to the investigations, coordinated by the prosecutor on duty Ilaria Perinu and conducted by the carabinieri of the Compagnia Duomo and the investigative unit, the woman's death dates back to this morning . Based on the inspection and initial findings there are no signs of forced entry, neither on the doors nor on the windows. An attempt is also being made to identify the object used to kill : some found in the house are being examined to ascertain their compatibility with the wounds and, given that there are no visible signs of blood, whether they have been cleaned or not.
Rancilio was the daughter of Gervaso Rancilio, an entrepreneur who had moved to seek his fortune in France and then returned to the Milanese area, where he had built entire neighborhoods in some hinterland municipalities. Right in front of one of his construction sites in Cesano Boscone, Gervaso and his son were surrounded by a commando of eight people on the morning of 2 October 1978. Augusto was loaded into a van and nothing more was heard of him, until the boss of the 'ndrangheta Saverio Morabito said that he had been killed because he had tried to rebel against his captors.
