The conditions of Omaima Zaouali, 19, appear to be improving, having survived the fire set by her brother Wajdi at the family home in Vittoria together with her father Kemal, which led to the death of her sister Samah 34 years old and his mother Mariam 55 years old. Still in intensive care at Cannizzaro in Catania, the doctors intend to transfer her shortly to the large burns center, a sign that suggests an improvement.
A slight improvement
The girl has 50 percent of her body affected by burns. The condition of her father also appears to be improving as he has 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 41 percent of her body. Meanwhile, Wajdi Zaouadi, 30 years old, is in pre-trial detention in prison on charges of arson, murder, attempted murder aggravated by family ties, cruelty, frivolous motives, and having acted in circumstances such as to hinder private defense .
Meanwhile, from Cannizzaro, Samah’s body will be transferred, following an order sent by the Ragusa Prosecutor’s Office to the Catania hospital, to Vittoria where the body of her mother Mariam is already located and where access for the autopsy examination will be arranged in the next few days. .
A demonstration in Vittoria
At 8pm tomorrow, in Piazza del Popolo in Vittoria, “a demonstration to express solidarity was organised to the Zaouali family and to ask for justice for the tragic event that affected them. Their son, suffering from mental problems, started a fire in the house with the intention of killing the family. Before this dramatic episode, the Zaouali had reported. The event will also be a moment of remembrance for the two victims of this tragedy, his mother Mariam and his older sister Sameh. It will be a demonstration to raise awareness of the competent institutions and authorities to intervene quickly, and to protect the right to protection, when these cases arise and not to leave families alone”, write the organizers Marwa Sayadi and Sharon Pisani who, thanking the mayor, Vittoria city council and those who want to participate are invited to wear white or red t-shirts, trusting that there may be “an urgent change in preventive intervention policies”.
