Ferdinando Carretta, who in 1989, in Parma, killed his parents and brother, died in Forlì, where he had lived since he returned to freedom. He was tracked down only nine years later, when he had moved to England.

He worked for a social cooperative and was reportedly ill for some time. He lived in the Ronco district, one of the most affected by the floods of recent days. The alarm was raised by a neighbor who had not seen him for a few days.
