TORINO. The walls of the houses were no longer a safe place. Giuseppe Pompe, 52, was a “father teacher”. Aggressive, domineering, angry. And the children on Saturday night didn’t even leave the house anymore for fear of leaving their mother alone. The disputes, already very frequent on the sixth floor of a building in Collegno, on via Edmondo De Amicis 47, in this period of quarantine had become increasingly violent. Until 11 p.m. yesterday, Alex, 18, grabbed a kitchen knife. And he killed his father by striking him twenty-four times in the abdomen, back, and chest. Then he called 112. He explained to the carabinieri, who are investigating the incident, that he intervened to defend his mother and brother.
Here are the facts, according to the researchers’ reconstruction. Giuseppe, 52, returns home from work. He is nervous. He sits at the kitchen table and drinks a few glasses of wine. Children try to push the bottle away. A discussion arises. The man moves into the room and then returns to the kitchen. He throws himself at his wife. Alex reacts. Take a knife, which then breaks. Grab three more. “I wanted to defend her,” Fabio Scevola explains to the prosecutor. To which count countless episodes of violence. Of insults and insults. It describes an atmosphere of suffering and fear, which I could no longer bear. The carabinieri seized the knives and heard relatives and neighbors. In that tower in the interior of Turin called ‘Acquaria’, the families know each other little. Just a greeting when you meet. “There are three stairs in the building, explain to the residents, the walls are thick and people are very reserved.”
To hear the arguments, just the opposite of Pompe. “They came to live here about three years ago, he says, I often heard Giuseppe scream with his wife and children. I also heard it last night. But it seemed like an argument like any other. When I saw the carabinieri arrive I realized that something had happened ». Giuseppe’s colleagues, a worker at the Graziano Dana factory in Rivoli, describe him as a “normal man.” At work, he did not seem like an angry or violent person. “However, within the walls of the house, he was someone else. To the investigators of the weapon, his wife and children described him as a violent and often drunk man:” Never We denounced him for fear. “Alex did not approach the police for fear of the repercussions either. Not so much for him, but for his mother. And the hell he lived kept him deep, without speaking. Without trusting anyone. Not even with the teachers and classmates at the Arturo Prever hotel school in Pinerolo. “Simple and collaborative boy, sensitive, curious and smiling, capable of mediating,” explains the school’s director, Rinaldo Merlone, which describes him as an excellent student, with an average of eight. Passion for soccer and a good group of friends. “Friends are medicine,” he used to say. However, he never trusted them. «Yesterday afternoon he participated in a videoconference with his teachers – says the director – He was silent. He showed no signs of unease. He never revealed anything about his family. “The teachers called a class council to discuss what happened. And the comrades wonder:” Why did you never tell us anything? “The Mayor of Collegno, Francesco Casciano, launches an appeal: “There are places where you can ask for help. These days, requests for support for family conflicts have increased. Reports to psychological accountants and the Women’s Center are numerous. We live in a difficult time, where tensions are mounting.” April 21, in Turin, in the San Salvario area, Mario Trimboli, 68, was killed by his son with mental problems.
