Bloodbath this morning in Nuoro , where Roberto Gleboni, a 52 year old worker from Forestas, exterminated his family and took his own life .
The tragedy took place between via Ichnusa , where Gleboni lived with his wife and three children, and via Gonario Pinna , where the murderer's mother lives.
The toll is dramatic: three dead (Gleboni himself, his wife and his 25-year-old daughter), two people at the end of their lives ( the procedures for certifying brain death have been started for their son Francesco, 10 years old, and his neighbour Paolo Sanna, 69), and two others injured (Gleboni's mother and 14-year-old son, who is out of danger) .
THE RECONSTRUCTION
It is around 7 in the morning and a storm is hitting the city when Roberto Gleboni, presumably at the height of an argument, grabs a 7.65 caliber semi-automatic and shoots his wife Maria Giuseppina Massetti, 43 , who dies instantly from the bullet that hit her in the head. He then goes to his children's bedrooms, who are still in bed. He shoots the eldest, Martina, who also dies instantly, then the youngest, aged 14 and 10. Leaving the house he runs into his neighbor Paolo Sanna , 69, who came out either because he heard the gunshots or to reconnect the power that had gone out because of the storm. He shoots him too, in the head. Then he takes a gray Punto and moves to via Gonario Pinna, to the house of his mother, Maria Esterina Riccardi . He surprises her in the kitchen, another gunshot, again to the head. Then he turns the gun on himself and takes his own life by shooting himself in the temple .
The sirens of ambulances and police resound in the city. The agents of the Police Headquarters and the Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Nuoro, the magistrates Riccardo Belfiori and Sandra Maria Piccicuto, the coroner Roberto Demontis, who immediately carries out an initial external examination of the bodies, arrive at the two crime scenes.
THE VICTIMS
Maria Giuseppina Massetti, 43, and Martina Gleboni, 25, were the wife and daughter of the murderer . They had joined ActionAid's awareness campaign against violence against women, posting a photo of them together on social media. Martina was crazy about her father, she loved him so much that she dedicated her degree thesis to him : "To my father, the greatest love of my life" . Words that leave a huge pain, in light of what happened today. The girl, after graduating, had done an internship in court.
THE WOUNDED
Everyone at San Francesco in Nuoro, whose doctors have been busy with a super job since this morning. Unfortunately , Francesco Gleboni, 10 years old, son of Roberto, and Paolo Sanna, 69 years old, tenant of the building on via Ichnusa, are at the end of their lives. The procedures for certifying brain death have been started for both .
The murderer's mother, Maria Esterina Riccardi, is hospitalized with a reserved prognosis, but doctors are confident they can save her. Roberto Gleboni's other son, the 14-year-old, is out of danger, having been grazed and slightly injured .
THE MURDERER
Fifty-two years old, a worker from Forestas and a trade unionist for the Cisl, passionate about sporting weapons, with no criminal record, "kind" and very well-liked, according to the neighbors. This was Roberto Gleboni , the author of the massacre. He legally owned the semi-automatic pistol with which he exterminated his family this morning.
THE MOTIVE
What triggered the man's murderous fury remains to be seen. There had never been any complaints or reports of violence in the family . All the neighbors, shocked and incredulous, speak of a very normal family, without shadows . Of a "close-knit" couple. Never heard an argument, never an argument. He was described as a "quiet and very sociable person, always available to help others."
To clarify the motive of this tragedy, relatives, friends and neighbors of the couple will be heard again. But the story of the survivors will be fundamental to give a key to understanding what happened.
What is certain, however, is that Gleboni wanted to exterminate the family; he hit all the victims in the head .
