He spent the night in the barracks and is being investigated for culpable excess of self-defense (the initial accusation of voluntary murder has been declassified) Sandro Fiorelli, the 58-year-old tobacconist who last night shot dead a thief who had entered his property in Santopadre, in the province of Frosinone.
The man, who had already been the victim of a theft in the past (but in his shop), was interrogated until 6 am, then was released.
Three regularly detained shotguns were confiscated from his home. The thieves, three or four, had entered his house immediately climbing upstairs: when Fioretti returned with his son, just before 8pm, he heard suspicious noises. Then he took a shotgun, loaded it, and ran into the thief who was running away into the driveway of the housing estate with a gun, which turned out to be a blank replica.
So Fiorelli opened fire with a 12 gauge loaded with pellets: two shots, the first in the air, the other towards the thief. "He pointed the gun at me and I shot", the story of the tobacconist. The victim is a 34-year-old Romanian, Mirel Joaca Bine, shot in the side. The accomplices have managed to escape and are wanted.
The reconstruction of the trader is being examined by the investigators. The victim, according to the account of Fiorelli's lawyer, had a scacciacani without a red cap that looked like a "real" weapon.
At the moment Fiorelli, with a clean record, is not subjected to arrest or to any precautionary measures.
