A 92-year-old man was killed during a home scam in Milan after an alleged “fake carabiniere” attempt turned violent. Police in Milan said two people were arrested after an investigation by the Squadra Mobile followed the death of the elderly man, who was found seriously hurt inside a home in Porta Romana. Investigators said the man’s death was not caused by a fall or a sudden illness. During an autopsy, they identified skull fractures that were incompatible with an accident after a medical episode. The inquiry focused on the scam method. In the alleged scheme, one person acted as a lookout while the other entered the home and attacked the victim, then stole jewellery and other valuables. Police began their work on 27 October, reviewing video surveillance and analysing mobile phone traffic data. They also tied in other findings, reconstructing what they described as a relevant body of evidence against the two suspects. The same pair was also linked to a burglary in an apartment in Varese, where they were previously arrested and later released after a bail hearing. Both suspects remain under investigation following the Milan arrests ordered by the prosecutor’s office for aggravated robbery and murder.
