He confessed to killing his own mother but the twist came at the trial. For the judge of the Asti court, the 57-year-old is not responsible for the woman's death, also in light of the examinations of the coroner according to which the death is due to natural causes. In practice, the son, in the grip of strong feelings of guilt, was "convinced that he had killed her", writes the judge. “However things went - he adds -, the facts do not allow me to argue that the lady was killed. The confession of the son is without confirmation ".
On November 4, 2017, the elderly woman died after being disabled following a series of operations for the fracture of the femur: 4 in just one year. Her son was looking after her. After three years, the 57-year-old confessed to putting a pillow on her face to kill her. The investigations instead revealed a death from natural causes.
This is why the man - defined as capable of understanding and willing - was acquitted in January, now the reasons for the sentence have come out.
