Bibbiano (Reggio Emilia), 9 June 2024 – His idol is psychopathic killer played by De Niro in the film “Cape Fear”, so much so that he used it on Tuesday the image as your profile photo on their Facebook page. On May 21st, however, as a cover on the social network he published the same character but from behind, with muscles and tattoos exposed.
Riccardo Stefani, 41 years old, lived in Bibbiano: he was arrested for the murder of Ilirjan Minaj known as ‘Lili’
Perhaps this is how Riccardo Stefani, 41 years old, originally from Cossato in the province of Biella, arrested for thehomocide Of Ilirjan Minaj known as “Lili”, 61 years old, happened in Bibbiano.
The motive, the weapon and the lynching
Several of Stefani’s relatives still live in Piedmont, while her mother had long since moved to Bibbiano. And it was in his house that the murderer had been living since October 2023. Since his arrival, he had made himself recognisable. Acts of vandalism and bullying. Then there are the facts not known to the newspapers, but which all the neighbors were reporting the other evening. Stefani he shouted at them from the windowhe treated them with harsh words if he crossed paths with them, smashed bottles and gave everyone dirty looks.
The carabinieri have always kept him marked, but he had never been guilty of a crime that it could be a ‘sentinel’ of a gravity of this type. There is certainly another victim in this terrible affair: the mother. She, one blonde and petite womanwas in turn haunted by the slaughter of this son.
Many times she had reported him for mistreatment in the family, only to then withdraw the complaint out of affection.
It was then a known alcoholic. A man who was a difficult boy: at just 21 years old, in 2005, he was arrested with a friend in a swimming pool in Cossato because, after having harassed a bartender, had resisted the carabinieri. After twenty years we find him again in Bibbiano.
It came to attention again in September last year. “I’m mad at that intersection because my dog died there,” and she had spray-painted a roundabout the name of the animal several times and in different ways. He had been reported by the police for that episode. The military immediately acquired from the local police the footage of the video surveillance cameras located in Piazza della Repubblica looking in the direction of the roundabout.
And so they had seen a man who arrived on foot from Via Corradini around 4 in the morning and started writing phrases of various kinds on the signs and on the roundabout itself. Not only that: the improvised graffiti artist could also be seen talking to passing motorists who were amazed by the vandalism he was committing.
