the killer acted in front of his 4-year-old son

The killer who killed Nico Brescia, his wife’s new partner from whom he was splitting, allegedly acted in front of their 4-year-old son., had with the woman whom he allegedly injured during the war: this is how it emerged during the interrogations coordinated by prosecutor Savina Toscani of the Bari Prosecutor’s Office, about the murder that occurred last night in the town of Bari. The man allegedly confessed to committing the crime.

Brescia died from at least 5 stab wounds to the chest, abdomen and shoulder. The crime took place in front of the house in Brescia where he lived with his family. At that time with him was also the 22-year-old ex of the murderer (also the father of another 7-year-old girl at that time by his grandparents), beaten by some blows as well as Angelo Brescia, Nico’s father. The 26-year-old, detained by the Carabinieri, is now charged with voluntary manslaughter and double attempted murder.

According to what was reported by the lawyer Domenico Pier Paolo Valerio, the 26-year-old’s defense lawyer, the murderer had come to the victim’s home unarmed to leave the child with his mother, explaining that it was the victim who initially held the knife. According to the version of events provided by the confessed murderer, he would have walked last night in the center of Bitetto with the child. The man would then start texting his ex telling him that his son wanted to see her and asking her to stay with him. At 3 in the morning, then, with his son in tow, he went to the house in Brescia, knowing that there he would also find his ex-wife, with the aim of leaving the child with him. He would have intervened and the father of the victim would have initially gone out with whom the discussion would have started. As reported by the murderer, Brescia would have come down with a knife and threatened to leave. In the fight, the knife, which fell to the ground, would have been picked up by the murderer who would have first struck Angelo Brescia and his ex-wife, who intervened to try to quell the dispute, and then would have been enraged with Nicola Brescia, killing him. That is, he said he reacted to an attack, that he defended himself fearing for his own safety and that of his son. An autopsy of the 26-year-old’s body will be organized in the coming days.
