Samarate massacre, Maja in the courtroom: "I apologize for the unforgivable"
Nicolò, the only survivor of the carnage, is also in court. The mother and sister were massacred
"I apologize for something unforgivable."
This was said today in the courtroom, during the first hearing of the trial, by Alessandro Maja, the interior designer who between 3 and 4 May 2022 killed his wife Stefania Pivetta, his sixteen-year-old daughter Giulia and seriously injured his eldest son in the house in Samarate Nicholas , 23 years old.
The man, I confess, is on trial in Busto Arsizio, in the province of Varese.
At today's hearing also Nicolò , in a wheelchair after a long period in the hospital, in the courtroom with his uncles and grandfather: «I can't feel hatred towards him, but I think forgiveness at this moment is difficult ».
The young man wore, as at other times in recent months, a shirt with the face of his mother and sister. «I am emotionally tired – the boy only added -. I still don't have an exhaustive answer as to the reason for the massacre.
That dramatic night Alessandro Maja grabbed a hammer and killed his sleeping wife and daughter , then wounded Nicolò who, awakened by screams or noises, avoided the fatal blow. Maja father then tried to kill himself by setting himself on fire, without success.
A few days after the crime, Piera Bossi tried to explain the murders to the investigating judge of Busto Arsizio with «an obsession with debts. I felt like a failure, responsible for not being able to guarantee the same standard of living for the family in the future, but I don't know why I acted like this».
