In Altavilla Milicia, in the province of Palermo, a 54-year-old man killed his wife Antonella Salamone and their two children aged 5 and 16. Another 17-year-old daughter managed to save herself. The man, after the crime, called the carabinieri and turned himself in to them. He was arrested for murder and suppression of a corpse. The woman was killed, burned and buried, but it has not yet been established when; certainly, before her two children, perhaps even a few days. Charred human remains belonging to her were found near the house. The two brothers were strangled on Friday and were found lying in their beds. Investigators are following the trail of the religious sect. Two people from Palermo were also arrested: they allegedly participated in the triple crime. The content of the phone call made by the man to the police is delirious: "I wanted to free them from demons," the man who worked as a bricklayer allegedly said. He also told the carabinieri: "The devil was hiding inside my wife and my two children, that's why I killed them: it was the only thing to do."
