He shot and killed his wife with a gunshot at the height of an argumentAnd. The man was subsequently arrested by the police to whom he handed himself over without putting up any kind of resistance.
Little happened at midnight yesterday, Thursday 20 June in Arezzo in the Giotto districtone of the good areas of the Tuscan city.
Alzheimer’s and the difficulties of caring for his wife
The man, 80 years old, Italian, had no criminal record. The dynamics of the crime have yet to be reconstructed but the elderly man he would have told the officers that he had acted because he was worn out by the serious illness of his wife, a 72-year-old who had been suffering from Alzheimer’s for some time and whom he struggled to take care of. Alessandro Sacchi – this is the name of the man who shot his wife, Serenella Mugnai. To carry out the femicide, the man allegedly used an old weapon that belonged to his father and then inherited.
“Call someone, I killed Serenella”, the words to the neighbors
“Call someone, I killed my wife,” he told the neighbors after committing the act. An immediate phone call was made to the single emergency number 112, which immediately sent a police car and an ambulance to the scene. But by now it was too late for everything except arresting the elderly man, taking away the body and carrying out the investigations.
Arrest for aggravated voluntary manslaughter
The mobile team of the Arezzo Police Headquarters led by Davide Comito is investigating the case. Prosecutor Marco Dioni is coordinating the investigation at the prosecutor’s office. The officers – to whom the man immediately handed himself over when they arrived at his home – accompanied him to the police station, where he was notified of the arrest warrant for voluntary homicide aggravated by the marital relationship. The 80-year-old was in shock.
