First he confronts the neighbor in the entrance hall of the building who he believes is having an affair with his wife and stabs him in the throat and abdomen, killing him. Then he runs up the stairs and reaches his 39-year-old wife in her home, relentlessly attacking her .

However, the 16-year-old daughter intervenes to defend her mother and is brutally killed by the stab wounds inflicted by her own father, the 45-year-old Albanian Taulant Malaj , who then shoots a shocking video with the bodies of the victims and says: «You see, I killed them all ».

His wife, wounded, manages to escape and call the police. When the soldiers arrive they find him wandering near his home, looking for his other son, a five-year-old boy. He wanted to kill him too . The child was entrusted to his uncles.

The tragedy occurred on the night between Saturday and Sunday on the outskirts of Torremaggiore, in the Foggia area, in a building in via Togliatti where there are two houses, the one where Malaj's family lived and that of his wife's alleged lover.

Community in shock, also due to the images contained in the video that arrived on the residents' Whatsapp chats . The assassin introduces himself with his name and then points to the body of 51-year-old Massimo De Santis, whom he has recently killed: «You see this here, he's the Italian. I have already forgiven my wife once, he is the second. I cut him off, I killed all three of them, even my daughter, see here » , he continues insulting his 39-year-old wife, Tefta, who lies down next to the body of the 16-year-old.

Then, screaming, Malaj wonders where "the child" is, her little son: "I haven't finished yet" , she pronounces.

Gessica, 16, was a high school student, she shielded her mother to defend her and was killed. An event that recalls the tragedy of Tortolì, in which Mirko Farci lost his life defending his mother Paola Piras .

Gessica's mother, also originally from Albania, would not be in danger of life but is hospitalized in Foggia, in a state of shock . 45-year-old Malaj worked as a baker. To kill De Santis and his daughter he used a kitchen knife, a weapon that has already been found.

From the first investigations, the crime could be traced back to an alleged relationship that, according to Malaj, his wife had with De Santis. For some people who knew the couple, Malaj's was just an obsession that had no basis in reality.
