He took up his shotgun, duly reported, and fired at his caregiver’s son. Two shots that killed the man, a 43-year-old Italian from Nicorvo (Pavia). The murder took place on Sunday 5 June evening in a farmhouse in the territory of the municipality of Gambolò (Pavia), in Lomellina, a few kilometers from Vigevano (Pavia). The killer was an 85-year-old elderly man who was ill and forced to move in a wheelchair. At the moment, the reasons that prompted the pensioner to explode the two blows that resulted fatal to the 43-year-old are not known: the investigation immediately launched by the Pavia Public Prosecutor’s Office will clarify the causes.
However, it seems that the 85-year-old resented after the caregiver’s son had “scolded” him for some too much attention that the old man would have reserved for his mother. Details that will naturally have to find confirmation in the investigations conducted by the investigators. The alarm was raised by the caregiver of the elderly person from Gambolò (Pavia), desperate after seeing her son collapse on the floor after being hit by two gunshots. Rescuers immediately rushed to the scene, together with the carabinieri. There was nothing more to be done now. The 43-year-old died instantly.
The 85-year-old in a wheelchair had been assisted by the caregiver for some time. The woman is present every day in the home of the elderly, in the farmhouse outside Gambolò. A necessary presence considering the health conditions of the elderly and his state of immobility. It remains to be understood exactly what prompted the pensioner to take his shotgun, duly reported, and pull the trigger. There was an argument between the elderly man and his caregiver’s son. A comparison with increasingly bright tones. Initially there was talk of futile reasons behind the 85-year-old’s gesture. But then, as the minutes went by, new elements emerged that seem to be connected to the relationship between the elderly person and his caregiver. Alleged attitudes had by the 85-year-old that the woman’s son would not like. Hence the discussion between the two, which resulted in the drama. The news immediately circulated in Gambolò (Pavia), arousing enormous impression and even disbelief among the inhabitants of the Lomellino municipality.
