Murder of Gravina, interrogation for the death of Arcangela Turturo: the husband rejects the accusations
He wanted to save her, not kill her. This is the defensive line of the 65-year-old Giuseppe Lacarpiathe Gravina farmer in prison for two days for the premeditated murder of his 60-year-old wife Maria Arcangela Turturo. The hearing to validate the arrest is scheduled for this morning, carried out by the flying squad and ordered by the Bari Prosecutor’s Office on the basis of elements that seem to leave little room for doubt.
The man, for the prosecution, he had been planning the murder of his wife for some time and on the evening of 6 Octoberreturning from a family party in a reception hall in the city, allegedly took a suburban road and set fire to the car with the woman inside. She, with her body injured by burns, would have managed to get out of the vehicle but he would have blocked, immobilized on the asphalt, trying to suffocate her, then he would have put pressure on her abdomen with his knees until he shattered her sternum.
A dynamic that was also true for 15 seconds immortalized by the cell phone camera of a 20 year old, eyewitness to the crime with her boyfriend and a friend.
