FANO He wanted to open an artisan workshop and leave his job as a metalworker in a factory. For this reason he had asked for a loan of 60 thousand euros, inviting his parents to guarantee it by pawning the house where they lived. But the dream of Luca Ricci, 49 years old, ended badly, the economic venture failed and, according to what transpires from the strict investigative confidentiality on the passage considered crucial in the investigations, the son of the victims of the double murder in Via Fanella is not managed to pay off the debt. Thus, the parents’ apartment was put up for auction last September and would have been purchased by a plumber. Just yesterday, according to neighborhood rumors, a meeting between the couple and the new owner was scheduled.
The compromised relationship
In this compromised economic relationship between parents and child, in the opinion of the investigators, the key to the brutal bloodbath in Via Fanella could be hidden. In the early afternoon of yesterday, Luca Ricci’s ex-brother-in-law, brother of his ex-wife Lorenza, was waiting outside the Fano police station for the victims’ fifteen-year-old niece, summoned by the police. «My sister’s ex-in-laws – said the girl’s uncle – were two good people. I knew them. To harm them with conscience would be madness.”
The fifteen-year-old niece, who came out of the police station crying, reported that her father was in the police station but she had not been able to see him. She was waiting to be questioned. Luca Ricci’s other brother-in-law, the husband of his sister Orietta, also left the police station at that moment but did not linger with the relatives, he hastily said goodbye, informing the other uncle of the fifteen-year-old that he had been listened to and that the The police had advised him to keep his testimony confidential and, above all, not to speak to other family members.
The defense of the ex-brother-in-law
On the issue of Luca’s debt to start a business and the parents’ apartment lost at judicial auction because it was given as collateral for the unrepaid loan, the girl’s uncle underlined that he had nothing to say: «These are Luca’s issues and his parents.” Then, away from his niece’s ears, he added that he did not believe that the son of the murdered spouses was responsible for the double murder. “There were no conditions for it.” He knew that Luca Ricci had been held for hours in the police station for questioning, risking a detention order, but he was keen to highlight that «this is a necessary action. For us in the family, the scenario of the double murder at the hands of the son is absurd.”
Yesterday morning, the investigators also took care of tracking down the victims’ seventeen-year-old nephew, who had gone to school to follow the remedial courses for the subjects for which he was sent back until September. A police patrol saw him at the bus stop and picked him up to accompany him to the police station in Pesaro, where he was told the news and with great restraint was asked some questions about his father’s family relationships with his grandparents .
At that moment, the boy arrived and embraced his sister in a strong embrace, both embraced by his uncle, in a generous and at the same time fragile protective gesture for the double tragedy in which the boys, despite themselves, ended up and which risks engulfing the father.
Yesterday, his ex-wife also had a protective attitude towards Luca, who at 11pm was still being held by the police to answer questions about the double murder and at that point ended up under investigation for the voluntary double homicide.
The protection of the ex-wife
To friends worried about the news relaunched by local and even national information websites, who asked her for information on what had happened, she replied that she did not believe what was being said: “We still don’t know anything.” And, in fact, the turning point in the investigation only took place late yesterday evening.
