(ANSA) - Bolzano, March 27 - A father killed himself Monday
after murdering his two children, aged two and a half and four,
with a hammer in a flat in the centre of Trento, police said.
The body of Gabriele Sorrentino, a financial worker and
former Carabiniere, was found at the bottom of a cliff that
dominates the northern Italian city and is accessible on a
funicular railway, near where his car was found. Police said he
had thrown himself off to his death.
The mother, Sara Failla, a vet, said economic problems linked
to the purchase of a new flat may have been linked to the
murders.
Trento Assistant Prosecutor Pasquale Profiti said "The main
lead is linked to a motive of a financial type".
He said Sorrentino had left no note.
