The case of the death of the two Palermo spouses, the accountant Pietro Delia and the municipal police officer Laura Lupo, found lifeless with gunshot wounds in their home, in via Notarbartolo, last Saturday morning is not closed.
The first hypothesis of the murder-suicide – the initial reconstruction was that the woman, found with the gun in her hand, had killed her husband and then shot herself – leaves doubts especially in light of the autopsies carried out in recent days. Laura Lupo, a traffic warden on duty at the justice of the peace’s office, had in fact two wounds caused by the service pistol: one on her neck, the other on her head. How is it possible that she shot herself the first time and then managed to pull the trigger again, hitting her in the head and killing herself? ask the investigators who are continuing to investigate. On the other hand, the apartment of the two, on the third floor of the building, was closed and there were no signs of forced entry, given that it had confirmed the theory of murder-suicide, but which now no longer seems decisive.
The daughter who lives downstairs found the parents’ bodies. Having no news from her father with whom she had a work appointment, she was worried and called the firefighters who entered the house and discovered her bodies.
