from Rinaldo Frignani

The man had been caught at home in the hamlet of Santopadre stealing with other people. The owner, owner of a tobacconist, had already been robbed in the past

“While he was running away with his accomplices, he pointed the gun at me. So I shot myself. ‘ In shock, with his hands still trembling, Sandro Fiorelli, 58, owner of the family tobacconist’s shop in Piazza Guglielmo Marconi, in the center of Santopadre, between Arce and Arpino, in the province of Frosinone, explains this to the carabinieri of the provincial command, coordinated by Colonel Alfonso Pannone, what happened at 7.40 pm yesterday in front of his house on the outskirts of the town. A residential area, with tree-lined paths and small lampposts, where until late evening the investigators of the weapon carried out an inspection at the point where he fell, shot to death in the side, a 34-year-old Romanian, Mirel Joaca Bine. Next to the body is the replica of a gun loaded with blanks.

The tobacconist remained for hours in the carabinieri barracks of Sora’s company: to give the alarm was the merchant who reported having suffered a theft in his home where he had just returned with his son.

“We were home when I heard noises coming from the upper floor,” said the shopkeeper. A sudden return, which took the commando of thieves who had entered shortly before by surprise. Bine fled together with other people, three according to the tobacconist, holding a gun that looked real. Which he would then aim at the victim. At least this is the version provided by the 58-year-old, in the past already targeted by criminals, because the carabinieri are looking for confirmation of his story. Investigations were also carried out in the house, to understand how the thieves got into action and what they took away. Seized the shotgun, regularly held by the landlord with other weapons of the same type, and also the replica. It is unclear whether Bine opened fire to frighten the victim of the theft, and this is an aspect that could prove decisive in determining whether the 58-year-old acted in self-defense.

An Ares 118 ambulance, some police patrols and the Cassino public prosecutor Marina Marra also intervened on the spot. who ordered the autopsy. It is not excluded that those who investigate may also acquire video surveillance footage of some cameras in the area in the next few hours that may have taken something useful to understand how it really went. In the meantime, the search for the accomplices of the 34-year-old killed went on all night in the countryside of Santopadre: they could have left with a car or perhaps with other people who were helping them in the assault on the villa. Among the hypotheses also that the group may be responsible for other home thefts, even if the statistics in the area between the Sorano and the Val di Comino indicate only 2 episodes in recent months.
