Milan, Nov. 14 (LaPresse) – Yesterday evening, Milan police carried out an arrest warrant for two Egyptian nationals suspected of criminal offences, issued by the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The two are strongly suspected, in various capacities, of aggravated robbery and murder. The investigation conducted by the Milan Police Headquarters’ Flying Squad stems from a serious incident that occurred on October 27 inside an apartment in the Porta Romana area, where a 92-year-old man, who was home alone, was found lying on the floor and taken in critical condition to Milan’s Policlinico Hospital, where he died the following day. The investigation made it possible to reconstruct the sequence of events, establishing that the elderly man’s death was not attributable to a fall caused by a medical episode, but rather to an external traumatic event. During the autopsy, in fact, skull fractures were found that were incompatible with the initial hypothesis. Through a complex investigative operation, Flying Squad officers were able to gather substantial evidence within just a few days. According to the investigators’ reconstruction, during an attempted scam using the so-called “fake Carabiniere” technique, one of the suspects allegedly acted as a lookout while his accomplice entered the elderly man’s home, violently assaulted him and stole jewellery and other valuables. The two were subsequently responsible for a burglary at the home of another elderly person in Varese, where they were arrested and then released at the hearing to validate their arrest.
