A man killed his disabled
son in his sleep overnight and then attempted suicide in the
town of Vespolate, in the northern province of Novara, sources
said Tuesday.
According to an initial reconstruction of events, the
father was afraid of about what would happen to his son after he
died.
The man, aged 50, is now in hospital in Novara in a
critical condition, having tried to gas himself to death, the
sources said.
He is said to have suffocated the son.
The father looked after the son alone as his wife died of
cancer a year and a half ago.
