He was stabbed to death in the street in front of Rome’s Termini station, in the area overlooking Piazza dei Cinquecento. The victim, Abdiwahab Sulub Cali, was 41 years old. A compatriot, also 41 years old, killed him with a stab in the chest, who then went to a bar after the crime. The state police reconstructed the brutal murder committed in one of the busiest areas of the capital.
The Somali was arrested for the murder of Abdiwahab Sulub Cali. But if the dynamics of the murder appear clear, the motive has not yet been defined. Maybe a fight.
The alarm went off shortly after midnight when some passers-by, seeing Cali on the ground bleeding, contacted the emergency number 112. An ambulance from 118 and the police were on the scene. The rescue was useless.
The fatality was a single stab wound to the abdomen. Thanks to the testimonies also collected from the homeless people who frequent the Termini station area and after having viewed the images of the surveillance cameras pointing at the square outside the railway station, where the bus stops are also located, the investigators have found the person they were looking for, the man suspected of the crime.
It was inside a bar on Via Cernaia, a few hundred meters away. According to investigators, he may have been the one who struck the blow that killed Abdiwahab Sulub Cali. He was listened to at length by the investigators. According to what was reconstructed by investigators, the victim spent his nights in a dormitory and hung out in the station quadrant.
The murder took place in one of the hot areas of the city, constantly under the scrutiny of the police who, despite carrying out services defined as “high impact”, are unable to stem the degradation and crime in the areas inside and outside Termini .
