Vizzini, a man who hits his uncle with his car and tries to reach him a second time: he was reported by the Carabinieri for attempted murder.
Family assault: an episode of near-violence
A supposed family showdown nearly turned tragic in Vizzini, in the province of Catania. Carabinieri officers from the Vizzini station reported a 38-year-old local man, seriously suspected of attempted murder, after he intentionally hit his uncle with a car and attempted to hit him again. Fortunately, the victim managed to get up and escape, avoiding further injuries.
Dynamics of the facts and intervention of the military
The Carabinieri responded in the early afternoon after a report of a collision on Via Dafnica. At the scene, officers found a severely damaged e-bike, and the victim had already been taken to the hospital. Initial investigations revealed that it wasn't a simple accident, but a complex situation characterized by financial disagreements and family tensions.
Video surveillance and reconstruction of the episode
Thanks to private security cameras in the area, officers reconstructed the entire incident. The car struck the victim's bicycle from behind, and after the initial impact, the driver did not stop, attempting to hit the relative again by reversing. The footage confirmed the 38-year-old's intentional actions and his dangerous behavior.
Identification of the person responsible and seizure of the vehicle
The investigation quickly identified the perpetrator and located the vehicle used, which was seized for further investigation. The consistency of the damage with the reconstructed incident further corroborated the evidence gathered by the police.
Victim's conditions and legal proceedings
The victim suffered blunt force trauma that was expected to heal within seven days and did not suffer any permanent injuries. Based on the evidence, witness statements, and technical investigations, the Carabinieri have charged the 38-year-old with the Caltagirone Public Prosecutor's Office for attempted murder.
