There is a detention for the gunshot murder of Andrea Gaeta, 20

, which took place last night in Orta Nova (Foggia).

The suspected murderer is Mirko Tammaro, 26, with a criminal record for theft, also from the area, who was

clearly identified and almost reached by the Carabinieri

of the investigative unit of the provincial command of Foggia, and decided to surrender himself.

Numerous findings and technical investigations have been carried out that have allowed the investigators to direct the investigations towards the alleged murderer.

At the moment the hypothesis of the configured crime is that of voluntary murder as well as illegal possession and carrying of a common firearm

.

The investigations were conducted in synergy with the soldiers of the Compagnia di Foggia and the Hunting Squadron 'Puglia', and coordinated by the Public Prosecutor of the Court of Foggia.

The weapon used, thrown into the countryside following the crime, was found and seized by the carabinieri

.

Technical-scientific investigations are underway to determine the exact ways in which the crime was committed.

The investigations, currently in the preliminary phase, are continuing

to clarify further aspects of the criminal action.

At the moment, the prosecutor has considered the existence of a serious circumstantial framework relating to the commission of the crime against the arrested person, such as to deem it necessary to apply the measure.

Andrea Gaeta in Orta Nova was well known both for his professional activity

, he ran a trucking company, and because his father Francesco, known as 'splitter balls', is considered by investigators to be at the top of the Gaeta clan of the same name close to the Foggia criminal battery of the Moretti , a criminal group active in the area but which does not have a mafia nature.

The young man himself would have been unrelated to his father's alleged illegal activities.

From the beginning, the investigators ruled out that the crime was attributable to organized crime.

Reconstructing the evening

, a few hours before the gunshots that hit him in the side and chest, it seems that Andrea Gaeta was the

protagonist of a fight over a girl

.

Everything seemed to have ended there but

after a few hours the killer reached the victim

on the outskirts of Orta Nova, targeting her with at least five gunshots.

It also seems that the victim was not alone

at the time of the ambush but in the company of friends.

A detail still being examined by investigators who have listened to Andrea's relatives and acquaintances all night.  

A similar episode, or a murder between teenagers for the contention of a girl, had already happened last July in San Severo where a 17-year-old, Francesco Pio D'Augelli, was killed with a stab in the side inflicted by a 15-year-old who had exchanged some messages with his girlfriend.   

With this murder, the number of victims killed in Capitanata

since the beginning of the year rises to ten.

Faced with these worrying numbers, the

provincial coordination of Libera

speaks of "a land tormented by so much violence and by the presence of mafias and crime needs attention and care".

Then he sends a message to "politics and institutions" that "must listen to the cry that comes from this land". 

The regional councilor for Welfare Rosa Barone receives the appeal of Libera.

"

We ask Minister Lamorgese for specific commitments to give a concrete signal of the presence of the state"

, she says.

Even the vice president of the Puglia Region, Raffaele Piemontese is convinced that in the agenda of the next government "the reorganization and strengthening of the judicial offices and the staff of the police in Capitanata" must be understood "as a national priority".
