The organs of Barbara Capovani, the psychiatrist victim of a fatal ambush by a former patient of hers who is now accused of premeditated murder, have been donated.
At the end of the brain death assessment procedures, the doctors carried out the explantation, as per his will expressed when he was alive.
The woman was attacked last Friday in front of the Pisa hospital. Gianluca Paul Seung, 35, confronted her with a bar in the parking lot of the Santa Chiara, delivering numerous blows to her head. 24 hours earlier the man had gone to look for her without finding her, the next day he had returned, dressed in dark clothes, a mask on his face, a hat on his head and a backpack on his shoulders. He waited for the psychiatrist, mother of three, to finish her shift around 6 pm, go out and approach her bicycle left in a rack. Right there while she was bent over and was removing the padlock, the attacker surprised her from behind by repeatedly hitting her on the skull probably with a bar or a stick, a weapon that was not found. Then he walked away leaving the psychiatrist lifeless in a pool of blood.
After listening to the woman's colleagues and viewing the footage for the police, the picture was now clear: it was a patient. At four in the morning on Sunday the blitz of the Pisa mobile squad started with the search of the home of Gianluca Paul Seung, a resident of Torre del Lago, in the province of Lucca. But the man barricaded himself inside and thus the raid of the agents broke down the door. The 35-year-old reacted by using a stinging spray before being permanently immobilized.
In his house the policemen found a crossbow with some darts and seized clothing and objects including a mobile phone and a PC.
