the New barbarians infesting the northern Calabria. Sow death and terror, they kill women and children, affect the economy, crushes the businesses with the racket and wear and tear, sell drugs to teenagers, make belluine sold. Edda Costabile, 77 years old, and daughter, Ida Maria Attanasio, 52, never imagined that the "barbarians" they wanted in their lives. A family of solid traditions of the bourgeois to the shoulders; a conduct always exemplary maintained in the country of residence, San Lorenzo del Vallo; a passion for teaching and humanistic culture: a mother and daughter, two normal women who are married to two men, well, yesterday morning had decided to go to the cemetery to clean the chapel in view of the anniversary of the decease d. There are inumate the remains of Franco Attanasio, brother of Ida, and son of the Edda, who died prematurely, thirty years ago. His tomb, in may last, had been first damaged and then given to the flames. Had happened after that another brother, which was given the name of the young man disappeared to perpetuate their memory, had confessed to be the author of a murder. A heinous crime done to make the April 26, 2016. Franco Attanasio junior, a real estate agent with the dot of the business and the passion for the dartboard sports, was killed in a small apartment in the university district of the compatriot Damiano Galicia, 31 years, of which he was a debtor to tens of thousands of euros. The lender demanded the restitution of the loan, and Attanasio, at the climax of a quarrel, killed him. Then he wrapped the body in a rug and escaped. After four days, been in contact with the Police, he did find the corpse, revealing, almost at the same time, the existence of an arsenal concealed inside of a garage place in another stable and which had the availability. Edda and Ida nothing they knew of the affairs of the joint that is then held in the prison of Reggio Calabria. Their had always been a existence absolutely linear. For this, also after the fire of the tomb, they continued to do things. So it was Sunday morning. At 10.30 they were about to leave together to the cemetery after you have lit the candles and put

the flowers in front of the picture of that nice guy of which, despite the years, felt to be still the nostalgia. Ida Maria was saying the last prayer with the right hand resting on the headstone dedicated to his brother, while his mother, Edda, was in front of the entrance of the chapel. The barbarian, assassin, backed by an equally barbaric accomplice, appeared suddenly brandishing a pistol, caliber 9 short. The face, discovered he had already gone through the whole cemetery. Everyone had to see it, all they had to understand and all had to be quiet. Ed da did not have time to scream that he unloaded six bullets in the face. Ida, terrified, attempted a desperate escape, leaving the family chapel from a secondary output. The murderer and the accomplice have pursued for about twenty metres away, and the woman, after having lost a shoe in the mad race to salvation, was reached and executed with pistol shots to the back of the neck. The two barbarians have left the scene of the crime at a brisk pace while the people astonished he sought shelter behind the outer walls and the gates of the many chapels. All have seen and heard, no one spoke. Says the prosecutor of Castrovillari, Eugenio Facciolla, who took over the direction of the investigation: “In the graveyard there was a lot of people. Who has seen you work, even in an anonymous form by calling the police. What happened could also happen to those who were present, because he has seen the killers. And nobody can protect if you do not speak”. How to blame him? In San Loren zo, in February of 2011, two other women were slaughtered with equal ferocity: they were called Rose Indrieri, 45 years old, and Barbara De Marco, 25, a mother and daughter. Their guilt? They were, respectively, sister-in-law and the grandson of a man who had killed the son of the boss.
