Ex carabiniere killed: shot while going out with his son

(ANSA) - COPERTINO (LECCE), MAY 04 - He had finished dinner in his sister's country house and was reaching the car parked outside, in the company of his ten-year-old son, when he was hit by a barrage of gunshots , four of which hit him, killing him. This is a first reconstruction of the murder of the former Carabinieri Marshal Silvano Nestola, killed last night by a hooded man on the outskirts of Copertino (Lecce). Ilkiller is sought after throughout the Salento where it is a manhunt.

    Reportedly, Nestola, who was 46, was driving to the car with her son when she heard the sound of some gunshots. At that point he would have told the child to go back into the house while he continued towards the car to meet his killer. Nestola's car, a Toyota Yaris, was found riddled with bullets.

    Nestola had been in service in the provincial command of Lecce until last September and since then he has been retired because he has been reformed. At the moment, investigators believe that the murder is unlikely to be linked to crime, and are also investigating the former soldier's private life. (HANDLE).
