Naples, two brothers-in-law killed in Sant’Antimo: Raffaele Caiazzo, the father-in-law of one of the victims, is constituted

Killed in front of the children

The tragedy matured when the city was waking up, on a day in which everyone’s thoughts must have turned to Giulia Tramontano and her unborn baby for the planned evening torchlight procession. And instead at 6.30 the first image of the horror experienced, with the body of Luigi Cammisa found riddled with bullets in Piazza Sant’Antonio. The carabinieri arrive on the spot, and shortly afterwards they also go to an apartment in via Caruso, at number 17, where in the meantime other gunshots have been reported. Here, in the bathroom, they find the body with several bullets from Maria Brigida Pesacane; the children are also in the house, who heard the shots but are fortunately unharmed even if in shock, because they may have seen their grandfather commit the heinous crime.

Caiazzo allegedly did it all by himself, first hitting Cammisa in the street while the 29-year-old was probably going to work, and then, according to a sequence of blood, his daughter-in-law. Meanwhile, the community of Sant’Antimo, already tried for the story of Giulia, remains in shock for a crime whose motive seems to turn back the hands of time by decades. “We find it hard to conceive of crimes like that of Giulia, but also the madness of those who kill their daughter-in-law in the house where their grandchildren are”, commented the president of the Region Vincenzo De Luca in the evening, participating in the torchlight vigil. The parish priest, Don Salvatore Coviello, is heartbroken: «This double homicide is the result of a social and economic degradation; here one survives and there is also a lot of ignorance, given that it is difficult to get the children to school»
