Colleferro: he demands money from his mother, beats her and then threatens her with death

Yesterday morning, the Carabinieri Operations Center in Colleferro received a request for intervention from a citizen who had warned of the screams coming from inside a house in the Colleferrino center. The Carabinieri of the local Company quickly arrived on the spot and knocked on the door of the apartment without obtaining any response. The support of the Fire Brigade was then requested to force the door when a family member of the elderly 79-year-old woman, residing in the house, who was equipped with a key and allowed entry, arrived on the spot.

The woman's son, a 50-year-old local, immediately resisted the Carabinieri by closing the door several times in an attempt to prevent access to the house. Attempts neutralized by the military who, using the use of pepper spray, managed to access the interior to immobilize the 50-year-old, placed in safety thanks to the arrival of other soldiers and a steering wheel of the local State Police Commissioner.

The Carabinieri then rescued the elderly mother, found in the bedroom in a state of shock with severe pain in the head and bruises in various parts of the body.

The reconstruction of the Carabinieri, carried out through the examination of the victim, which took place in the emergency room of the Colleferro hospital, and also confirmed by the neighbors, made it possible to collect elements for which the man is seriously suspected of having, shortly before, in evident state of psychophysical alteration and for futile reasons, attacked the mother, hitting her with kicks, punches and with a wooden chair, and then threatened to throw her from the balcony if she had not repaid double of a non-existent debt, of about 400 euros.

The victim, for the injuries sustained following the violent assault - various bruises and a frontal hematoma - is still hospitalized with a reserved prognosis, fortunately does not seem to be in danger of life.

For the 50-year-old, at the end of the ritual formalities, the doors of the Velletri prison opened wide. He will have to defend himself from the accusation of attempted murder, violence and resistance to a public official.

Also in this case the promptness of the response of the Carabinieri is a consequence of the specific professional preparation in dealing with cases of "abuse in the family" for which the attention and sensitivity of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Velletri is very high.

In this context, reporting by the victims who suffer these crimes or by the people closest to them remains of fundamental importance, so as to allow the Judicial Authority to intervene quickly to protect them.
