June 14, 2021 "Five minutes before the shooting, a patrol of the carabinieri of Marina di Ardea had gone to check that my client Domenico Fusinato was at home to respect the house arrest order". To say the lawyer Diamante Ceci, lawyer of the parents of the little ones David and Daniel killed yesterday in Ardea, near Rome. "The control - adds the lawyer - of the carabinieri took place when the two children were already on the pitch with their bicycles. The mother was outside and heard the shots, she thought they were firecrackers or hunters. then she understood what had happened and began to scream. At that point the husband alerted the same patrol that immediately returned to the district ".
"I would like to clarify that I have never talked about execution. The parents of the children did not know the murderer and had never seen him before and that there has not been any dispute as reported by some unreliable source" then reiterates the lawyer Diamante Cenci contacted by telephone by LaPresse. "It is serious that the mayor says that there was a quarrel and also an acquaintance with my client, then denied by us and by the police - he remarks - Perhaps the mayor wanted to clear his conscience. Andrea Pignani was subjected to Tso and the Municipality is responsible for this measure because in May he had tried to kill his mother ".
'' We hope that the Prosecutor of Velletri will clarify everything, including as regards the rescue that according to some witnesses would have arrived 40 minutes after the shooting. The role of Pignani's mother and sister should also be clarified, why did the man have the gun of his father who died in November? Because after having threatened his mother with a knife, last May, he was subjected to a Tso and released after just one day, while it seems that he had been ordered for fifteen days '', the lawyer still asks. The family members of the man who carried out the massacre, with regard to the gun would have justified themselves by saying: "We could not find it". No complaint or statement in relation to threats to residents by Andrea Pignani, 35, has been filed with the police.
"The family - continues the criminal lawyer - had decided to live in that area to get away from Ostia, they had chosen to live there because it was a quiet place to raise children. They had moved into that house for about a year and a half. got to hear from my clients this morning, they are destroyed but they ask for respect for this absurd drama they are experiencing ".
The Prosecutor of Velletri has launched a murder investigation in relation to the massacre that took place yesterday. This is what we learn from legal sources. The magistrates have entrusted the investigation to the carabinieri who have already started listening to witnesses yesterday. Tomorrow will be entrusted with the task of carrying out the autopsies on the victims that will be carried out at the institute of forensic medicine of the Tor Vergata polyclinic.
The investigation, among other things, will first have to clarify why Andrea Pignani had the gun in the house that belonged to his father, a security guard, who died last November. In this context, answers could come from the killer's mother and sister. Based on what has been ascertained so far, the man left the house around 11 - with sweatshirt, backpack and gloves - holding the weapon, he walked for about four hundred meters along the road parallel to the house where two children lived. . A first shot was fired in the direction of a man carrying a wheelbarrow who, however, managed to escape to safety. The killer then reached the gardens and shot the older of the two children, then hit an elderly man in the back of the head who had intervened to rescue the child and finally killed the child.another child. After the death blitz, Pignani continued on foot and went to barricade himself in his house.
