A 35-year-old man, Matteo Lombardini, killed his father Giuseppe Lombardini, 72, and seriously injured his mother, 66, by stabbing them both last night in their home.
The crime took place in Nembro, in the province of Bergamo.
The neighbors who heard the screams raised the alarm around dinner time. The young man, being treated for psychiatric problems, had already attacked his parents in the past.
The father died from his injuries, while the mother was hospitalized in serious condition: she was reportedly hit while trying to defend her husband.
The investigations are conducted by the Carabinieri. The son, arrested, is in hospital, under medical supervision and kept under observation by the military.
