After hours of interrogation, the murderer of Antonio Amin Afendi, killed with three Kalashnikov shots on Saturday morning in the center of Casarano, confessed. The author, Lucio Sarcinella, a 27-year-old local, will have to answer for voluntary homicide aggravated by premeditation and futile motives. “I lost my mind and killed him,” the man told prosecutors. At the basis of the gesture were the threats that, according to Sarcinella, Afendi addressed to his family.
Prosecutors are also evaluating the aggravating circumstances of facilitating the mafia clan. Sarcinella is in fact close to the Damiano Autunno clan, a direct rival of the Agostino Potenza clan, killed in 2016, to which Afendi belonged.
In the meantime, investigations continue and prosecutors have also interviewed the driver of the car who, however, appears not to have physically participated in the murder.
