First he allegedly stabbed his 60-year-old mother to death , then he attempted to set fire to the house where they lived : these are the dramatic responsibilities attributed to a 22-year-old from Montepiano , a hamlet in the municipality of Vernio, in the Prato area, who was stopped this morning by the Carabinieri.
The military and firefighters intervened after an alarm was raised due to the heavy presence of smoke coming out of the house . The flames were put out in a few minutes: once inside the house the firefighters noticed the lifeless body of the woman on the ground. The investigators' attention immediately focused on the 22-year-old, deaf-mute. The prosecutor on duty was also on site.
The 22-year-old , according to what we learn, had various psychological problems and had been followed by the social services of the Municipality of Vernio for many years, together with members of his family. The young man's father, who has not lived with them for some time, rushed to the scene of the crime this morning after being alerted by some residents of Montepiano.
The mayor of Vernio, Maria Lucarini, also remained on site for a long time.
