The Carabinieri of Catania have arrested a 39-year-old foreigner for attempted murder against his brother. During the night, the manager of a fast food restaurant in the center of Catania called 112 asking for a police patrol to be sent because outside the restaurant there was a young man with several stab wounds to his neck and he had an ongoing hemorrhage. The military arrived on site and found the terrified young man, a 29-year-old foreigner with deep wounds on his neck from which he was losing a lot of blood, in front of the door of the restaurant. In a state of shock, the young man managed to whisper his brother’s name to the investigators while he was being transported to the hospital in an ambulance. The injured man was taken to the emergency room of the Garibaldi Centro hospital with non-life threatening injuries. From the comparative investigations of the traces of blood found on the asphalt and analysis of the footage from the video surveillance cameras present along the route, the carabinieri managed to trace back the path taken by the injured man, until arriving at his home, an apartment on the land in the Fortino area of Catania. The military managed to trace the identity of the young man’s live-in brother, a 39-year-old foreigner. Upon their arrival on site, the soldiers found the house empty, but through the glass windows, they managed to glimpse traces of blood on the floor and blood-soaked handkerchiefs scattered everywhere.
The investigators then thought that the stabbing had taken place in that very house and that the wounded young man had subsequently moved on foot and bleeding to the nearest commercial activity open in the middle of the night, where he could ask for help. The search for the man began immediately, with a team in the area while a second team was stationed near the house, in case the latter returned home. In the early afternoon, the stabber found the carabinieri waiting for him. Upon his arrival, the 39-year-old showed up with a bandaged hand to cover a cut wound. During the search of the apartment, the military found two knives still stained with blood on the kitchen sink, which the suspect had evidently not managed to clean to make the traces disappear. The man was arrested and taken to the Catania Piazza Lanza prison, while the reasons that led to the attack are still being examined by the investigators.
