Alberto Picci did not answer the questions that this morning, in the Sassari prison of Bancali, were asked by the magistrate regarding the attempted murder of his parents which took place two days ago in the family home in Santa Maria Coghinas .
Before dawn on Wednesday, the 47-year-old hit his father Giuseppe and mother Maria Giovanna Drago with a harpoon and other fishing gear .
Assisted by the lawyer Tania Decortes, he availed himself of the right not to answer, but made spontaneous statements. With his parents, he explained, there has always been a serene and peaceful relationship without episodes of violence or clashes of any kind. He said he did not remember anything about the attack, that he woke up in the night to noises.
“If I did what you say - his words -, I did it involuntarily, it was not up to me”.
The prosecutor Angelo Beccu, on the basis of the investigations of the carabinieri of the Valledoria Company who arrested the 47-year-old in the act, accuses him of double attempted aggravated murder. The mother and father are still hospitalized in critical conditions in the intensive care unit of the Santissima Annunziata. Giuseppe Picci underwent an operation for the extraction of the harpoon that had stuck in his throat and head, his wife to treat the deep head wounds probably inflicted with fishing scissors.
Both are kept in a medically induced coma to stabilize their condition.
