He was on trial for assaulting his wife Piero Maurizio Nasca, the 52-year-old arrested for the attempted murder of his wife, Anna Longo, 56, who was injured, and a friend of the woman, Cettina ‘Cetty’ De Bormida, 69, died on the spot.
The man who in the past had also been reported for crimes against property had also been subjected to a warning by the Quaestor in 2018. The woman had reconnected with her husband. According to the reconstruction of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the man’s main objective would have been Cetty De Bormida, in her opinion ‘guilty’ of having tried to convince his wife to leave him.
Against Petro Maurizio Nasca, the prosecutor of Catania Valentina Botti, with the coordination of the deputy prosecutor Marisa Scavo, has issued a detention suspected of a crime for murder and attempted murder. At the police station, the man asked for news of his wife, if she were dead. When the agents told him of the death of his wife’s friend, he expressed all her happiness by saying that he deserved the end that happened to her because she had gotten in the way in the relationship with her wife and the she had convinced her to leave him.
Husband and wife went to the clinic in the industrial area this morning: on leaving Anna Longo told her husband that their relationship was over and that she would never go home. Nasca thus hit his wife and friend Cetty De Bormida twice with her car, an Opel Meriva
The man then called the police to turn himself in and confess. His wife is hospitalized in the San Marco hospital.
The man is still in the headquarters of the mobile squad of the Catania Police Headquarters. When he was blocked by police officers he was in shock.
The first call to the single emergency number, 112, was made by some citizens who were in the area and spoke of two women hit by a car. Subsequently it was the 52-year-old who called the agents while he was still in the car in the industrial area. The man followed the advice of the operator who answered the phone call: he stopped in the place where he was and waited for the arrival of the patrol to which he surrendered.
