Mirko Tonkov, father of Mattias, the ten-year-old boy killed yesterday afternoon in Cura di Vetralla, in the Viterbo area, was arrested for murder. The man is guarded at the Belcolle hospital by the carabinieri.

The 44-year-old Polish man had a ban on approaching his family and was hospitalized in Rome for Covid until yesterday morning. He escaped from the hospital and went to the house where the child lives with his mother, in Vetralle: there was only the little one, killed with a stab in the throat that left him no way out.

When his mother returned home she found him dying in the next room Tonkov, in a state of unconsciousness.

Shocked the entire town where the child lived and attended the fifth grade. "It is with deep sorrow that we learn the news of the killing of one of our little fellow citizens - wrote the mayor Sandrino Aquilani on the Facebook page of the Municipality - Mattias was only 10 years old and inexplicably found death. A story that leaves us astonished and shocked, and that in this moment of inhuman understanding, waiting for earthly justice to take its course, must lead us to reflection, recollection and prayer ".

According to what is learned, the man, a laborer, had been very violent both with his son and with his woman, Mariola Rapaj, a 35-year-old Albanian maid. Enough to push her to report him: the 35-year-old was very frightened, so much so that she recommended her son not to open the door to anyone, including dad. But little Mattias yesterday opened the door to his father, who killed him with a stab in the throat.
