There at number 6 via Fratelli Corradini, a few meters from the Town Hall of Bibbiano, in the province of Reggio Emilia. The murderer – a 41-year-old Italian of Piedmontese origins – he risked lynching by those leaving and the victim’s friends, who minute after minute had also flocked from neighboring towns to be close to his widow and 19-year-old daughter.

Only the great ability of the Carabinieri to manage crisis situations and the lucidity of the deputy prosecutor Isabella Chiesi avoided the worst: an armored car she was brought to the front door, while a cordon of soldiers tried to keep the crowd at a distance. Then in just a few seconds the assassin under guard was made to pass from the lobby to the cockpit of the Gazelle. In those moments anger explodedwith dozens of people banging on the bodywork, windows, trying to climb onto the hood, while the black car he slowly reversed up to the main road. At that point a piercing siren was turned on, and the car began to cut through the crowd.

An altercation on the stairs and the killer returns to the housegrabs a knife then savagely attacks the Albanian on the first floor landing. The death it is almost instantaneous, to the horror of relatives who saw their loved one die in front of their front door.

The killer barricades himself in his apartment and only after a negotiation, brings in the military and social services workers, while the elderly mother (also a victim of her son’s excesses) is taken to safe accommodation.

Finally, just before one o’clock, the stratagem to “exfiltrate” the murderer to take him where fair justice awaits him, and not the noose with which the crowd hoped to hang him from the lamppost in via F.lli Corradini.

The man was arrested for aggravated voluntary manslaughter and was taken to prison.
