(ANSA) – SASSARI, APRIL 28 – The two spouses reduced to death by their son yesterday in Santa Maria Coghinas, both underwent surgery, survived the night and remain hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Santissima Annunziata hospital in Sassari .
68-year-old Giuseppe Picci is in critical condition, while the conditions of his wife, Maria Giovanna Drago, are of less concern. The man was pierced in the throat and skull by a harpoon fired by his son, Alberto Picci, with a diving rifle. Last night the surgeons extracted the harpoon with a very delicate operation, which lasted hours. The woman had already been operated on yesterday morning for head injuries which her son always stuck with a kitchen fork. Alberto Picci, arrested yesterday at dawn by the Carabinieri of the Valledoria Company, is now locked up in the San Sebastiano prison where already today, assisted by the lawyer Tania Decortes, he could appear before the investigating judge to validate the arrest. The deputy prosecutor Angelo Beccu, owner of the investigation, accuses him of double attempted aggravated murder.
Yesterday, the attacker first issued to investigators, then to his lawyer, very few statements. Still in a daze, he asked how his parents were doing and said he woke up in the middle of the night after hearing noises. He said he didn’t remember anything about the attack on his parents. (HANDLE).
