Ciriaco Pigliaru waited for his ex-wife in front of their house. And when he saw her come back he loaded the shotgun and shot her. So, point blank, in front of the daughter who was with her. Then he aimed the gun at himself and fired.
Horror last night around 8 pm in Castel Sant'Elia, a small town in the province of Viterbo. Pigliaru, a 65-year-old farmer of Sardinian origins, had not lived in that house for some time. He was separating from the wife and mother of his two daughters, hence the decision not to sleep under the same roof anymore.
Yesterday the crazy gesture: the 57-year-old waited a long time in the garden, the long-barreled gun in his hand, then came out of the darkness and opened fire at close range and then took his own life. It was the daughter, in shock, who raised the alarm, calling for help. But when they arrived there was very little to do: Ciriaco and Anna were already dead, the bodies in a pool of blood.
The carabinieri of the Civita Castellana company investigate the matter: investigations are also underway on the weapon, a hunting rifle, to understand the origin. At the moment there is no evidence that the 65-year-old had weapons.
"A drama that involves us: the sudden death of the spouses, Ciriaco and Anna, something tragic for our whole community - Vincenzo Girolami, mayor of Castel Sant'Elia wrote on Facebook -. The words are tight, especially in moments like these. We express our condolences to the daughters, Valentina and Valeria, and to all the other family members ".
Pigliaru had arrived in Castel Sant'Elia as a child and, together with his father and brother, had set up a farm. Then the meeting with Anna, the marriage and the birth of the two daughters. A few years ago the decision to open a tobacconist to start a new life.
