He friended a woman on Facebook, but her partner, evidently out of jealousy, shot him, wounding him.
It happened last September 12th in Taranto. The investigators of the Flying Squad of the Police Headquarters have concluded their investigations into the shooting that took place on Sunday morning near a riding stable. Lido AzzurroThe alleged perpetrator, a 49-year-old Taranto criminal, who went missing immediately after the incident, had no choice but to voluntarily present himself yesterday afternoon, accompanied by his lawyer, at the Police Headquarters, after being pressured by the police search.
The investigations have thus brought to light the scenario in which the injury occurred. The suspect, who had his own horse in the riding school where the victim worked, he had been looking for him for a few days because the injured man was 'blame', in his opinion, for having asked for thefriendship on facebook to his partner.
Thus, around lunchtime, the 49-year-old managed to track down his target first in a delicatessen in the same area and, unable to have a direct confrontation, he reached him on his motorbike, a Yamaha Majesty, in the riding school, shooting him three times with a 7,62 X25 caliber gun and wounding him in both legs.
After the absurd gesture, the offender abandoned his motorbike, which was later found by the police, and fled on board his car, losing track, until yesterday afternoon when, now hunted by the State Police, he decided to turn himself in.
The 49 year old arrested is charged with attempted aggravated murder, illegal possession and carrying of a firearm, serious threats and shooting in a public place. He is now in prison.
