Why It Matters
The episode occurred during an attempted theft in a rural farmhouse in the Roero hills, province of Cuneo. Roberto Mollo, a resident of the property, used a firearm against the intruders.
It was a single bullet that took the life of Gjovalin Lazri while, together with some companions, he was attempting to rob a farmhouse in Baldissero d'Alba, in the Roero hills in the province of Cuneo. The autopsy, carried out by the Turin civic morgue, produced this first result. But the medical-legal investigations are still to be completed and all the specialists have agreed on one point: an inspection is essential. Roberto Mollo, the 35-year-old who shot from the balcony and who is now under investigation for murder and attempted murder, pulled the trigger twelve times, wildly, towards the shadows that moved further down, in the courtyard, in the darkness of the night punctuated by the light of the torches.
Tg1 broadcast the audio of his confused call to 112 at 2.17am on 20 September: "Yes, good evening, hello, I'm Mollo Roberto, I had thieves in my house, and I defended myself". And again: "I injured a thief, I don't know if he died. I was scared, I did it alone, I had the gun." This was the call a few minutes after he fired at least 12 gunshots at people who had broken into the family farmhouse in Baldissero d'Alba, killing one of them.
"I'm here, I have a land...I'm desperate: I was scared, I was walking around in the house...", he adds. Then the phone call goes to the police, and the 35-year-old reiterates: "I had thieves in my house, I'm armed, I defended myself. Maybe there's a person on the ground or if he's dead, you'll have to look at what to say". "This one here, hooded, he's locked up, they were out in the courtyard, I shot him because I got scared."
"Yes, yes, they are armed, I shot them, I defended myself, I live here alone, I'm in a farmhouse... Here in the countryside", continues Mollo in the phone call to the police, who try to reassure him: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll send a patrol to you immediately". "Be patient - the 35-year-old replies -. I don't know what to say anymore: they wanted to steal everything from me", adds Mollo while the operator continues to reassure him and he continues to repeat that there is someone on the ground and that they wanted to steal everything from him. "I'll call you back in two minutes, don't worry, don't touch anything, don't touch anything though", says the agent on the phone. "No no, I don't touch anything - he replies -. I'm out because the gun I have here is empty", he states.
