December 13, 2019 A 54nne tried to kill the 20-year-old son, suffering from spastic tetraparesis and mental retardation, making him ingest the entire contents of a bottle of drops of a sedative and trying to suffocate it by filling his mouth with absorbent paper soaked in perfume. The young man's caregiver foiled the plan. The woman was arrested for attempted murder by the police of the Catania provincial command and placed under house arrest by the magistrate in an assisted therapeutic community at the request of the public prosecutor.The woman had first driven her elderly cohabitant out of the house, allowing her to return but locked up to prevent her from leaving. He also removed the caregiver who assisted him in assisting his disabled son, who, presuming a real danger for the safety of his client, immediately turned to the carabinieri. Upon their arrival, in fact, the military, with the caregiver, found the elderly mother forced on the balcony of a terrified and trembling house, then, having broken into the house and overcome the resistance of the woman who tried to prevent access, they found the boy who was in critical condition due to a serious respiratory crisis.
