Murder-suicide is being investigated for the case of the two people, mother and son, found dead in Favara, in the province of Agrigento.
The victim is allegedly the 83-year-old retired Antonia Volpe, killed by her son Angelo Maria, a 52-year-old school worker, with a shot from a revolver with abraded registration number and illegally detained. The man would then point the weapon towards him.
After a night of interrogations and checks, the reconstruction of what happened last night in via Bachelet in Favara changes: the Prosecutor of Agrigento, with the acting prosecutor Salvatore Vella and the prosecutor Chiara Bisso, initially assumed that the man committed suicide and the woman died of a myocardial infarction, unable to bear the sight of her dead son.
The carabinieri of Favara and those of the company of Agrigento, throughout the night, listened to more people, especially the other son of the woman who found the corpses of his mother and brother and raised the alarm.
Volpe was found on the kitchen sofa, with more blankets on. Only when the body was taken to the morgue during the night was it ascertained - by the coroner - that it had an entry and exit hole on the chest.
Angelo Maria took care, assisting her daily, of the elderly mother who was not sick, but had ailments due to old age.
