The criminal trial of Mauro Pedrotti began today, as he stands accused of the murder of his mother, Santina Delai, which took place in Puegnago del Garda in February of last year. The case was heard at the Brescia Assize Court, where it was revealed that no family members of the victim have come forward as civil plaintiffs. Pedrotti, 55, confessed to strangling his 78-year-old mother, stating that he was “tired of his mother’s invasiveness.” After committing the crime with his hands and then with a cloth, he attempted to stage a robbery at home and went to work as if nothing had happened.
The trial marks a crucial moment in clarifying the details of the incident and the motivations behind Pedrotti’s actions. Future developments may uncover further aspects of the family dynamics and the circumstances that led to this tragic event.
