The Carabinieri have arrested the alleged perpetrator of the accident that occurred yesterday morning in Montoro, in the province of Avellino. A 63-year-old pensioner, Nicola Penna, was hit and killed while walking along Via Sandro Pertini, in the Piano district, as he usually did every morning. The driver, a 36-year-old from Contrada, did not stop to provide assistance.
The investigations led to the identification of the vehicle, a red Ducato van, thanks to the images from the video surveillance cameras present in the area. The man was arrested on charges of road murder and was placed under house arrest, pending validation. The suspect's vehicle and smartphone were seized. The victim's body was found by family members in a plot of land below the road.
