Double murder in Fano. The 75-year-old man had his head smashed with a blunt instrument, his 70-year-old wife was suffocated, perhaps by strangulation. The alarm was raised by the son in his early 40s who lives upstairs in the house. The man, who said he was not involved in the killing of his parents, is under interrogation. There was a fight in the house, the elderly man tried to defend himself but failed. At the moment the couple’s son is not under investigation and no arrest measures have been taken against him for now.
The forensic police are carrying out investigations. Also on site was the head of the prosecutor’s office and magistrate on duty Maria Letizia Fucci. The flying squad is listening to the tenants of the building.
The two spouses killed are Giuseppe Ricci and Luisa Marconi, aged 75 and 70, pensioners. The son, Luca, lives alone in the apartment on the upper floor of the house in via Fanella 127. He raised the alarm by calling the firefighters to break down the door of his parents’ house who were not answering the calls. The man is still under interrogation while forensic investigations continue inside the house.
In these hours the investigators are listening, in addition to the couple’s son, to all the family members, relatives and neighbors to reconstruct the dynamics of the two crimes. While the police investigations continue, coordinated by the prosecutor Fucci, the body of the 70-year-old was transferred to the morgue; the husband’s body, which could provide useful elements for the investigation considering the fact that the man defended himself from the attacker, is still found in the house where the forensic police are working in search of useful traces for the investigation.
