The picture reconstructed by the investigators and based on the story of his daughter Antonella is dramatic. The relationship between his parents, Maria Turturo and Giuseppe Lacarpia, was marked by violence and aggression
The tragic epilogue that ended the life of Maria Turturo unfortunately it represented the culmination of a marital relationship marked by continuous acts of violence and aggression, suffered for years at the hands of her husband, Giuseppe Lacarpia.
The woman, 60 years old and originally from Gravina in Puglia, she was the victim of a brutal femicide. In fact, her husband first attempted to burn her alive inside the car she was in and then, once she came out covered in burns, he literally finished her off by strangling her with his bare hands.
Admitted to hospital, Maria Turturo unfortunately died in an emergency room of the hospital Altamura. However, before her heart stopped beating forever, the woman managed to tell her daughter Antonella things had happened to her.
A story of unspeakable horror that the victim had already managed to leak previously, first to some witnesses and then to the investigators themselves.
The dynamics of the violent attack suffered by Maria Turturo
The couple was returning from a party which their children had also attended. Around 1.30am, violence reportedly took place near their home.
The husband, after locking his wife inside their car, one Fiat Puntowould have set fire to the car. Although injured and burned, Maria would have managed to get out of the burning passenger compartment, but at that point she would have ended up directly in the hands of the man who would have violently attacked her.
To the rescuers who had initially assumed it was a road accident, the injured and traumatized woman managed to reveal the shocking truth: “He wanted to kill me… he put his hands around my throat.”
The story of her daughter Antonella
The statements released by the couple’s daughter were also fundamental for the purposes of reconstructing the tragic event, Antonella.
Statements that helped investigators understand the problematic family situation, characterized by violence and aggression that lasted for years:
“My parents’ story is endless, he made her go to the emergency room three times, he mistreated her. There are also complaints to the police. After the incidents reported, there were others, but my father’s family often intervened to mediate and therefore my mother no longer reported them. My mother wanted to leave, she confided in me, in us children.”
A story full of dramatic details and full of pain:
“They were full of debt, my father took care of milking the cows, which he raised, and producing dairy products. And then the arguments began. At that time, my mother, out of desperation, had set fire to my father’s tractor in 2009. My brothers also intervened in the arguments and beat each other to death. They wanted to help my mother, but he was too violent. Once my father tried to stab my brother and was arrested, we are talking about 2010-11. Maybe he always had anger towards my mother, since the fire and the attempted murder of my brother he hadn’t accepted this thing that he had been in prison“.
The confession made to his daughter a few moments before dying
A few days before her brutal murder, Maria Turturo had confided in Antonella, one of her daughters, seriously fearing for her safety.
“I feel like he’s going to kill me”. Few words, but filled with great fear. A fear that had accompanied the poor woman for a long time, a victim of violence and abuse that lasted for years.
The 60-year-old had in the past also entrusted her most intimate and distressing fears to social media: “The world does not notice the sometimes suffocating sadness of mothers.”
The man, who also went to trial for animal cruelty, was declared guilty last January incapable of standing trial. Therefore, he would have been granted a disability for depressive syndrome.
