He killed his wife Ewa Kaminska, 48 years old, a Polish woman from Sztum, with over forty stabs. Pasquale Pinto, the 55-year-old former security guard who had Naples in apprehension yesterday.

After murdering the woman, in fact, armed with a gun he fired several shots from the window, even against the Police. The couple's three children - a 14-year-old girl and two boys, aged 16 and 18 - were entrusted to a psychologist.

For certainty about the causes of the 55-year-old's death, the autopsy is being awaited: presumably, he would have killed himself by taking drugs, perhaps diluted in a bottle from which he was often seen drinking yesterday. The mobile team of Naples has heard the witnesses; according to what was learned, the family was facing economic difficulties. Recently Pinto had been out of work. The house was however perfectly in order, clean and tidy.
