An 83-year-old pensioner who killed
his 79-year-old wife and mentally handicapped 51-tyear-old son
as well as two neighbours who owned their flat near Turin
Saturday night is in serious but stable condition in hospital
after shooting himelf in the face, hospital sources said in
Turin Monday.
The bullet did not hit vital organs, sources at the Giovanni
Bosco Hospital said.
The man, Renzo Tarabella, killed his wife Maria Grazia Valovatto
and their son Wilson with his gun before murdering neighbours
Osvaldo Dighera, 74, and his wife Liliana Heidempergher, 70.
The neighbours owned his flat on the fifth floor of a
condominium in Corso Italia at Rivarolo Canavese near Turin.
Tarabella had what doctors called a "delicate" three-hour
operation on his head wounds on Sunday.
He is now intubated and doctors have not said how long it will
take him to recover.
