June 15, 2014 243 children killed in the past ten years, often killed by the same parents. These are the chilling data of the Meter Onlus Association. A real "child murder", says the Association, a phenomenon that often passes by in silence.The victims are children of a few years or even babies. Tragic data: in Italy a mother or father every week kill or attempt to kill 3-4 children with an average of about 170 children victims in a year. Next to the 113 children killed by their parents (2004-2008, Eures), the association's report underlines, the numbers of the infanticide are impressive: in the last decade 130 girls have been killed in Italy by their parents.
Raptus, conflicts between parents over separations, uncomfortable situations, these are the main reasons for these horrors within the home. Then there are the massacres linked to settlement of accounts in which entire families are often exterminated and children are found to be the victims. As happened in Calabria, where the small Cocò was killed for "ndrangheta" issues.
Cocò, the three year old
boy And it was precisely the death of Cocò one of the last and most tragic horrors. Nicola Campolongo, three years, was killed by the 'ndrangheta in Cassano allo Ionio together with his grandfather; his body was found charred in the car. A difficult childhood full of suffering such as Cocò. Still in swaddling he lived in prison for a few months when his mother was arrested for drugs, his father was already in the cell. Then he was entrusted to his grandfather Giuseppe, who in the meantime returned to freedom after spending a few years in prison but remained a special guard until the tragic discovery of the body in the back seat of the car with his grandfather. and the companion. The killers first fired a blow to the head then set fire to the bodies. The three had been missing for a few days.
Mother kills her three daughters
In Lecco a mother killed her daughters 3, 10, and 13 years while they slept. The woman, Edlia Dobrushi, 37 years old, of Albanian origin confessed "It was me, I killed them". A raputs shot perhaps for the solitude for the separation from the husband who had another relationship, perhaps for the economic difficulties of keeping the three girls. "I grabbed a knife" - she confessed then the sequence of blows that is repeated in different rooms, before turning the blade against herself and attempting suicide. It was 6.25 when a neighbor raised the alarm after seeing the woman on the landing with her clothes and hands soiled with blood. The crime would have occurred in several stages and in multiple rooms, so the woman would have placed the bodies of the three small victims on the double bed. Her husband was traveling to Albania, "I shouldn't have left her alone" his words after the tragedy
Massacre of Gallura
An entire family exterminated in their home in Tempio Pausania in Gallura. Father, mother and 12-year-old son killed in bars. Strangled with the electric wire and then killed with headshots. A 32-year-old young craftsman was arrested who confessed to the massacre even if the versions are contradictory and for this reason the investigators think he has not acted alone. A murder that seems linked to the relationship between the craftsman and the head of the Azzena family: the two acted, according to the investigations, in common activities that are not always lawful as scams and scams.
