Manslaughter in Desenzano: the supermarket theft as the triggering cause
A serious incident of manslaughter shook Desenzano del Garda on Thursday evening when a 28-year-old Romanian was arrested for the death of a 46-year-old Moroccan. The altercation between the two, which erupted at the train station, was triggered by a minor theft that had occurred shortly before in a local supermarket, where the victim had attempted to steal a packet of pistachios. After being struck and falling to the ground, the Moroccan sustained severe injuries to his neck and died on Saturday morning at the Spedali Civili hospital in Brescia due to a brain hemorrhage.
Investigations are currently underway, focusing on the circumstances that led to the fatal confrontation. Local carabinieri are trying to determine whether there had been any prior interactions between the two men and whether the incident can be attributed to an accidental situation or a deeper conflict. Another concerning aspect of the case is that the Romanian reportedly sustained a wrist sprain, potentially incurred during the struggle with the victim. The coming hours will be crucial in shedding light on this tragic event that stemmed from a seemingly insignificant theft.
