He was called Gaetano Menzo, the 58-year-old man who was found dead in the early afternoon of January 23, in his home in Enna, Sicily. Arrested for the murder of his son, Matteo Menzo. The 22-year-old told the police that he had hit him after his father had tried to hit him with a boxcutter. His statements, however, do not coincide with the findings carried out at the crime scene.
A macabre crime was committed in the early afternoon of last Tuesday 23 January in a house located in via Mola in Ennain Sicily.
The victim's name was Gaetano Menzo, he had 58 years old and he was a well-known building contractor throughout the area.
He was found on the floor, now lifeless and immersed in his own blood one of his children who immediately alerted the rescuers. The latter, having arrived on site, could not help but confirm the man's death.
It seems that Menzo, busy on a construction site not far from his home, had decided to return at his home for the lunch break. His son, who worked with him, would go to check since he didn't see him return.

In the evening the young man was tracked down and stopped near the police station, where it appears he was heading to turn himself in.
