A 64 years old resident in Bovezzo (in the province of Brescia) got on a train yesterday morning, Monday 22 April Intercity and headed to Rimini. Once he arrived in the Romagna seaside city, he showed up at the Destra del Porto carabinieri barracks and turned himself in: “I have just escaped from house arrest”, he told the soldiers, “I would like to be detained here because I inquired and discovered that it has been renovated three times over the years”. Arrested, the Rimini judge Margherita Brunelli ordered the 64-year-old home detention again in Bovezzo and postponed the hearing to June 11th.
The escape from Bovezzo and the journey to Rimini
According to what has been reconstructed, the 64-year-old is 100 percent civil invalid and is followed by the neuropsychiatry service of Bovezzo. With a long list of police records behind him, last December he was arrested following one armed robbery carried out at the Brescia post office.
