A woman, Antonella Lopardo, was shot and killed yesterday evening in the Ciccotonno district of Cassano allo Ionio, in the upper Cosentino area.
The 49-year-old was at home with her husband, Salvatore Maritato, an alleged exponent of the Forastefano gang of the 'Ndrangheta and, as far as we learn, the real target of the ambush.
The killers, armed with a Kalashnikov and a pistol, fired when they glimpsed a shadow looming from behind a curtain through a window.
Convinced that it was Maritato's, they fired. For Lopardo there was nothing to be done.
The carabinieri of the Compagnia di Cassano allo Ionio and those of the provincial command of Cosenza intervened on the spot and started the investigations.
