The 35-year-old with a history of drug addiction stabbed both his wife and 7-year-old son in the abdomen. He is still at home.
Scenes of terror in Cianciana, a small town in the Agrigento area near Ribera – the famous town also known as the “City of Oranges”. A man stabbed his wife and children, one of whom is in critical conditions and still suspended between life and death.
The man then decided to barricade himself in the house after letting them out, and luckily they were reached by rescuers in a short time. There tragedy it took place in an apartment in via Puccini in the small town in the Agrigento hinterland.
The seven year old son, hit in the abdomen, was urgently transported by air ambulance to the children’s hospital in Palermo in serious conditions; his wife, whose life is not in danger, was hospitalized in Sciacca hospital. The injured younger daughter was also transferred to Palermo.
The man, Daniele Alba, a 35-year-old worker (or mechanic, the sources are still confused), is the perpetrator of the attack. The scene that took place in Cianciana was truly nightmarish. In the early afternoon, Alba lashed out at his wife and two children and apparently the man is still inside his home near Piazza Bellini in Cianciana, surrounded by the Agrigento carabinieri.
According to investigations, the 35-year-old with a past drug addiction, stabbed both his wife and 7-year-old son in the abdomen. The man held his other daughter hostage for over two hours. Around 4pm she released her and then remained alone in the house. The little girl was treated by the 118 health workers for the superficial wounds she suffered and, obviously, caused by her father. This is yet another episode of homicidal violence against (also) a woman, events that show no signs of abating.
The police are trying to convince the man to surrender. No law enforcement officer decided to to storm inside the apartment. Therefore, the authorities still entered the house out of fear that the man was armed or that he would immediately commit some extreme gesture.
