A 50-year-old woman who ran over
and killed her mother and a relative on Monday in the Tuscan
city of Volterra did so intentionally, according to an eye
witness.
Initial reports said the woman is a psychiatric patient at a
local ASL health center and reportedly suffers from persecutory
delusions.
She is currently being treated at a local hospital and is in
a state of shock.
The woman, according to initial investigations, allegedly
believed the two victims, aged 70 and 75, were the "cause of her
problems".
She ran them over while they were on a sidewalk in Viale
Ferrucci in the city center, near the Roman Theater, according
to the witness.
A third person, a 63-year-old man, reported minor injuries
and is being treated at the hospital in Volterra.
Police officers are at the scene, which has been cordoned
off.
