The 30-year-old Tunisian held responsible for the family tragedy of a few hours earlier in Piazza Trinità, in the San Giovanni district, was stopped by the police.
The man, accused of multiple murder and attempted murder, would have sprinkled the parents’ bedroom, the corridor and the entrance of the aforementioned home permanently occupied by his father, mother and two sisters with flammable liquid and set fire to it with a lighter , caused the death of his 54-year-old mother and 34-year-old sister, reducing his 57-year-old father and his other 19-year-old sister to the brink of death.
The 30-year-old is now in the Ragusa prison, at the disposal of the judicial authorities.
A tragedy that shocked the community of Vittoria, for an integrated and well-liked family. The neighbors, who rushed to the scene, intervened immediately to put out the flames in which the 4 members of the family unit who had tried to escape from the flames were engulfed. At the basis of the gesture, as far as we know at the moment, are less than idyllic relationships between the 30-year-old Tunisian and the rest of the family.
“We express deep condolences for what happened this morning in the city. A thirty-year-old set fire to his house with the intention of killing his family: mum, dad and two sisters.
The entire community is close to the family in this moment of immense pain. The Municipal Administration makes itself available for the needs of this tragic moment. We will proclaim city mourning on the day of the funeral” – declared the Mayor of Vittoria Francesco Aiello.
Deep condolences from the entire City Council.
