Horror in Licata, in the province of Agrigento, where an entire family was exterminated by the murderous fury of a relative.
It happened in via Riesi, where the carabinieri are at work to reconstruct the dramatic episode.
To pull the trigger Angelo Tardino, 48, who shot his brother, sister-in-law and two nephews to death before fleeing.
Hunted by the carabinieri, he then decided to take his own life in a street far from the scene of the massacre, in the Safarello district, shooting himself in the head. Transferred to the hospital still in agony, there was nothing more for him to do.
According to an initial reconstruction by the carabinieri, based on the testimonies of some neighbors, the massacre would have originated from a family dispute for reasons of interest related to the subdivision of some land.
The investigations are coordinated by the Prosecutor of Agrigento, Luigi Patronaggio.
