There is perhaps a raptus at the base of the double assassination attempt which took place this morning, around 4.30 am, in a house in Santa Maria Coghinas , in the Sassarese area.
The 47-year-old Alberto Picci hit his 68-year-old father Giuseppe, originally from Cagliari, and his mother Maria Giovanna Drago, 67, from Ragusa with a harpoon and a knife.
The couple, who lived for a long time in Pieve Emanuele, in the metropolitan area of Milan, moved to Santa Maria Coghinas a couple of years ago, in a house in La Scalitta, not far from the sea.
The son joined them a few months ago.
The tragedy occurred before dawn, inside the Casteldoria residence. The 47-year-old - according to an initial reconstruction - woke up in the middle of the night and, in a confused state, would have lashed out at his parents: he hit his father with a harpoon fired with an underwater fishing rifle, his mother with a kitchen fork.
To call 112 was the woman, who was in an evident state of shock, probably already injured. Shortly before, she had also phoned 118 asking for help for her husband.
When the rescuers arrived on the spot, Giuseppe Picci was unconscious, while his wife was conscious. Both were taken in red code to the Santissima Annunziata hospital in Sassari and are hospitalized in very serious conditions. The son was arrested by the Carabinieri of the Valledoria Company, he will be questioned in the barracks and then transferred to the Bancali prison.
The prosecutor Angelo Beccu of the Sassari prosecutor is investigating the case.
The "relief" team of the Investigative Unit of the Provincial Command is carrying out the technical-scientific investigations.
