He barricaded himself in the house after stabbing his wife and children, only to surrender after several hours.

The tragedy occurred in Cianciana, in the province of Agrigento. A 7-year-old boy ended up in hospital, injured in the abdomen and transported by air ambulance to Palermo, the man's wife, who is not in danger of her life and is now in Sciacca, and the youngest daughter, also this brought to Palermo.

The 35-year-old locked himself in the apartment on Via Puccini, and in the end - after a long negotiation - he handed himself over to the police.

Carabinieri and firefighters intervened on site.
