He attacked his aunt , trying to suffocate her with a rag soaked in ammonia . "I didn't want to hurt her, I thought she was my partner ", these are the words of the 30-year-old who last Friday in Luino (Varese) tried to kill the woman while she was sleeping in her bed. According to the investigations, the young man may have acted under the influence of drugs while his uncle was away on business.
According to what was reconstructed by the woman, her nephew would have jumped on her while she rested with her two and five-year-old children next to her . He allegedly pinned her head with one hand and pressed the rag to her face with the other. However, with the strength of desperation, she managed to free herself by making him fall off the bed. He himself would have asked to call the Carabinieri, who arrived on the spot together with the ambulance.
Rescued, the woman was taken to hospital in non-serious condition. The young man, who lived with his uncles and has no history, was hospitalized in the psychiatry ward of the Cittiglio hospital and now risks being charged with attempted murder. In light of what happened, the Varese investigating judge validated the arrest and ordered the man to be placed in custody in prison.
