But to the agents of the Avellino Mobile Squad to whom he made full confession, the 23-year-old, according to what is learned, would have declared that the plan to exterminate the entire family, with the planned killing of the mother and sister of the young woman, would be was developed and strongly desired by Elena.
It was the cries for help from Aldo, a surveyor employed by the FCA of Pratola Serra (Avellino), hit by seven stab wounds inflicted by Giovanni, to alarm his wife and other daughter and to avoid the massacre. Elena's father would then die in the night at the Avellino hospital. Today the prosecutor of Avellino, Vincenzo Russo, will also give the task to perform the autopsy. The picture of the story that shocked the city would already be clear enough. On the night between Friday and Saturday, Giovanni made a full confession to the agents. After hitting the girl's father, Aldo Gioia, who was attacked while he was sleeping on the sofa, hitting him seven times with a 'Cobra' type knife, Limata ran away and returned to Cervinara, in the house where his parents live with a brother.
When the agents of the Flying Squad showed up at his door, he indicated where they could find the knife used to kill and also stated that the plan to exterminate the entire family would be devised and wanted by his girlfriend. The two boys will have to answer for murder aggravated by premeditation against a family member. They face life imprisonment.
Strengthened by Giovanni Limata's confession, it took little for the investigators to reconstruct how things went. Limata broke into the house around 10.30 pm while Aldo Gioia was sleeping on the sofa in front of the television left on. After exchanging several telephone messages, the girl triggered the ambush by leaving the door open after going out with the excuse of throwing out the garbage. Entering the house, the young man hit with fury the victim who had no chance to defend himself. It was the daughter herself who then raised the alarm, staging, with her dying father, an alleged theft by phantom thieves.
The relationship between the 18-year-old and Limata was opposed by the girl's family, worried about the character and the past of the young man, repeatedly the protagonist of excesses of violence. The girl's family, especially her father, had unsuccessfully tried to distance her from that young man, unemployed, with a history against the person and reported as having taken drugs and who in recent weeks had also threatened her father with death at the end of a quarrel. According to what has been learned, the girl's family had appointed a trusted lawyer, Innocenzo Massara, but he resigned from the position (the reasons for the decision are not known) while the fiancé will be assigned an official defender since he has not been appointed a trusted one.
