“I killed my mother” –

An 80-year-old woman was found dead in Spezzano di Fiorano, in the province of Modena, on Sunday afternoon. Modena Today immediately reported that the Carabinieri had intervened on the spot to carry out investigations: they immediately searched for her 50-year-old son who lived with her and who was untraceable. The 80-year-old woman was found strangled yesterday in her bed in Spezzano di Fiorano where she lived in a three-storey building in Piazza delle Rose. The man had been living with his mother for about 15 years and no trace of him had been lost: the police investigations immediately headed in that direction. The body was discovered by the woman’s daughter, who went to visit her on weekends. The marks on the woman’s body immediately led to the hypothesis of a violent death. Two days later came the incredible twist: the son of the murdered woman confessed to the crime live during the September 23rd episode of Pomeriggio Cinque, the Canale 5 program hosted by Myrta Merlino.

“Yes, I killed her. I hadn’t confessed it yet. I don’t know what went through my head, I couldn’t take it anymore. Maybe it’s better to call the police, I was so distant… He had dementia and Alzheimer’s and sometimes he said things… I couldn’t take it anymore. I don’t know why I did it”, the man’s words in front of the microphones of the journalists, who had gone to the two’s house to report on the case.
