Palù (VERONA) – “He was fine even with scars instead of in a coffin.” Rita speaks with a weak voice, she is an old woman but yesterday, in front of the coffin of her daughter Teresa, she was more inclined by pain than by years. “She did not save a single child, as they say. She saved three, ”she says. “She was like that, she always took care of the weakest, she would have done it even if they were strangers, but those children were like children to her. For the two little sisters, she was the babysitter and then the upstairs neighbor’s four-year-old son was home. Teresa saw through the window that the bastard was following the two girls who were returning from school, he ran towards them to protect them, managed to get them home safely but that was a devil, he slipped inside with them and he did it. what did she do … “That” That “was a 22-year-old Swiss boy named Steve, whom the local press defines as a homeless man repeatedly hospitalized for serious psychiatric problems and known to the police for drug abuse. of three and working as a housekeeper and nanny for a family in Sankt Gallen, German-speaking Switzerland.
The unstoppable fury of the murderer
Teresa, to everyone Terry, pushed the kids in there and came between them and that boy. I would not leave them in their hands for the world. He reacted with an irrepressible fury, she took him with her who prevented him from who knows what plan his sick mind devised. He grabbed a metal skillet and hit her on the head several times. There was another woman in the house and it was she who called the police and tried to intervene, causing minor injuries. When the patrol arrived, Teresa was still alive and that guy was on top of her, hitting her like nothing could stop him. They yelled at him to stop and raise his hands, but he didn’t and the officers fired. He died in that house, along with Teresa who was dying while the ambulance took her away. She left a few minutes later, at the hospital. “In life she has always been someone who has worked hard. She had gone to Switzerland to give her children a better future and instead she is there, ”Rita points out to the hearse,“ they brought her to me in a coffin. The last time I heard her voice was half an hour before she died. And think about fate … we talked about the condolences I wanted to extend to the relatives of a deceased young man … ».
In Switzerland to earn more
Teresa was of Calabrian origin, from a town called Cotronei (in the province of Crotone) where her mother Rita lives. She and her husband, Salvatore Elia, had followed the path of work, landing first in Palù and then in Oppeano, in the province of Verona. They had started a family when they were very young. Terry was 16 when her first son Giuseppe was born, who is now 30 years old. Then came Simone, 28, and finally Sarah, 24, a college student who lives at home with her father (her siblings live alone). Four years ago, when the opportunity to earn a little more came, Teresa had decided to leave. The boys were old enough to get by even without her and Switzerland was close enough to come home from time to time. So she went to Sankt Gallen, also counting on the support of relatives who live there.
Funeral
For Teresa’s funeral yesterday, the Palù church was full of people. Salvatore and his three children arrived very close together, the closest friends had a photograph of him in their hands and in the silence at the end of the ceremony, Sarah’s desperate cry was the most heartbreaking greeting. “A wonderful mother”, they repeated to those three boys these days, “the best you can have.” Before the funeral procession left for the cemetery, Rita came over to caress the coffin and speak quietly to her beloved daughter. When recounting her sacrifice, she has only one word to define the murderer, “bastard.” And it is as if she is also speaking to him when he says that “he did the only thing possible, he chose the life of children”.
