He would have paid a killer for the murder of Giuseppe Matarazzo, the 45-year-old pastor accused of raping his daughter, then 15 years old, in 2007, who committed suicide a few months after the violence. This is the accusation, with a request for indictment, leveled, as anticipated by some local sites, by the public prosecutor of Benevento against Lucio Iorillo, a 64-year-old former worker, originally from Frasso Telesino (Benevento) and father of the young woman, during the ongoing trial in the Campania city..
A revenge ten years in the making
Iorillo was already under investigation as he was believed to have instigated the murder of the shepherd who was executed on 19 July 2018 by gunshots in front of his house, after having served nine of the 11 years and six months inflicted on him because he was found responsible for sexual abuse against the young woman whom the January 6, 2008, he took his own life by hanging himself from a tree. A revenge, already hypothesized by the investigators at the time, which would have taken more than ten years to mature.
