Pannarano. Behind the tragedy of Pannarano, where a 57-year-old man killed his 70-year-old older brother, beheading him, in addition to cohabitation problems there would also be religious reasons.
The two brothers, Annibale and Benito Miarelli, had been living together for about 6 months in the family home on Via Piano, after Annibale's return from Rome.
According to initial reports, the two had a violent argument, probably due to cohabitation. Benito, who had already had problems with alcohol in the past and had been followed by social services, then attacked his brother in his sleep, strangling him and decapitating him.
The horror was completed by the gesture of throwing the head out the window.
The Carabinieri, alerted by neighbors, arrived on the scene and found Annibale's lifeless body on the bed and Benito in a state of shock. The man, not resisting, confessed to the crime and was arrested for voluntary homicide.
The community of Pannarano is in shock for the brutal crime. The 57-year-old was known for his problems, but no one would have ever imagined that he could get to this point.
Motive still to be clarified
The precise motive for the murder is still unclear. The investigations, conducted by the Carabinieri and the Benevento Prosecutor's Office, are ongoing to reconstruct the facts in detail and determine the dynamics of the fratricide.
A country in mourning
Pannarano is a small town of about 1.800 inhabitants, where everyone knows each other. The news of the murder shocked the community, which rallied around the victim's family.
The mayor of Pannarano, in an official note, expressed his condolences for the tragic death of Annibale Miarelli and defined the event as "an act of unheard-of violence that leaves us shocked and saddened".
