Woman killed, underage son stopped: he was afraid of being estranged from his father

The police arrested for murder the 15-year-old son of Valentina Giunta , the 32-year-old fatally wounded by stab wounds in her home in Catania.

According to what has been learned, the relationship between mother and son had been tense for some time and the crime would have matured at the height of a dispute. The son, linked to his father detained as part of an investigation into an organization specializing in car theft, feared that his mother would want to remove him from him and his paternal grandfather , who was also involved in the investigation of the Catania Public Prosecutor's Office .

The body was found by the police in the late evening two days ago in the house in the area of the Ursino Castle in the historic district of San Cristoforo. Police officers intervened after a report by a family member of the victim who said he feared that the woman could be in danger. 118 medical personnel were on the spot, but Valentina Giunta, mother of two minor sons, died shortly after.
