He confessed to having acted in a state of confusion, without realizing that he had killed his supposed “rival” and injured the woman he was in love with.
Giuseppe Molinaro, 58 years old carabiniere in service at a station of the Arma in Caserta, has been in the prison of Santa Maria Capua Vetere since tonight for murder and attempted murder
He shot and killed Giovanni Fidaleo, 60 years old, director of the Nuova Suio hotel in the hamlet of Suio Terme, in the municipality of Castelforte, in the province of Latina, then wounded Miriam Mignano, 31 years old from Castelforte, the woman who allegedly had a relationship with both of them and then fled, but after a few hours he was arrested.
The woman was hit by at least two shots, one to the chest and one to the stomach. Rescued, she was transported by helicopter to the Gemelli hospital in Rome where she underwent delicate surgery for the serious gunshot wounds, yesterday evening she underwent further tests and her prognosis remains reserved.
Jealousy is thought to be behind the Carabinieri officer's reckless act. The woman who had worked at the Suio Terme hotel was having an affair with both men. After the incident, the officer, who was serving at a Carabinieri station in the province of Caserta, headed toward the Caserta area, stopping at a friend's house in Teano. He told the friend what he had done, and the friend contacted the Carabinieri, who picked him up and took him to the local Carabinieri headquarters in Capua, where he was questioned.
The restrictive measure was then ordered by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Santa Maria Capua Vetere (prosecutor Carmine Renzulli), competent for the arrest, since it occurred in the Caserta area, while the Public Prosecutor's Office of Cassino is the one competent for the territory, which will carry out the preliminary investigations. The arrest must be validated within 48 hours by the GIP of the Santa Maria Capua Vetere court.
From the interrogation carried out by Molinaro at the Capua barracks, a motive emerged that has to do with the injured woman. It seems that the Carabiniere was having an affair with the latter, but the soldier believed that Fidaleo was also dating the 40-year-old. And he targeted him.
He would have thus reached the hotel where he was sure to find the man, and in the parking lot of the structure he crossed paths with the 60-year-old manager and the woman: he then began to shoot, fatally wounding the hotelier and also hitting the woman. Ballistic tests will be essential to ascertain the exact trajectory of the shots fired.
