An ambush, a man massacred with kicks and punches. His head was smashed in with a baseball bat. An emergency admission to hospital.
Extremely serious injuries aggravated by the use of a baseball bat.
For reasons, at the moment, which still remain unknown.
It all happens late Sunday afternoon. At the external car park of the Esselunga supermarket, in via Volta.
Here they find a 34-year-old man, a character already known to the police, with a small history of petty theft, someone they know quite well at the supermarket because he often hangs out in those parts. At a certain point, for reasons yet to be clarified, two men arrive to confront him.
One is 53 years old, also with a criminal record, and the other 18, both residents of Macherio. They may be united by kinship. And they evidently have a dispute with the victim, previous disagreements which the investigators are working to reconstruct. Macherio’s two men attack the 34-year-old, punching and kicking him, even when he is already on the ground. They are not alone, some accomplices also participate in the beating: a punitive raid? A settling of accounts?
At a certain point a third boy also arrives, also from Macherio, 20 years old, armed with a baseball bat with which he attacks the victim by hitting him on the head. Fortunately, help also arrives: the police as well as an ambulance and a code red medical car. The victim is rushed to hospital, where his condition turns out to be more serious than expected.
Her life is not in danger, but she is hospitalized with a guarded prognosis in the intensive care unit due to skull fractures caused by the baseball bat.
Meanwhile, the carabinieri from the Biassono station arrived on site: they arrested the first two attackers in the act, and subsequently tracked down the third, who had already disappeared. Found in Macherio where he lives, he will be arrested.
But it wasn’t just the three of them who were involved in the attack.
There were others, over a dozen, on whose trail the carabinieri are now on.
Because the first round of the investigation ended on Sunday night. But it didn’t end here.
