Aurora did not make it, just 2 years old, seriously injured by her father, who killed the other son, twin of the girl, and his wife before committing suicide.

Admitted since Monday morning in the intensive care unit of the Regina Margherita children's hospital in Turin, in a coma, the little girl was declared dead at the end of the observation period that began in the afternoon.

In the night between Sunday and Monday Aurora was shot in her sleep with a gunshot to the head by her father, Alberto Accastello, 40, who also killed her twin Alessandro, her mother Barbara Gargano, 38, and the dog, before commit suicide.

The tragedy in their home, a villa in Carignano, in the Turin area.

It was his father's brother, to whom he confided his intention to kill himself on the phone, who called the carabinieri.


The immediate intervention in the house, however, was in vain: after closing the phone call, at five in the morning, Alberto Accastello took up a .22 caliber pistol, which he regularly held at home, and fired on his family.

The military had to break down the door to enter.

The mother, who worked in a shopping center in Moncalieri (Turin) as an employee, was found lying on the ground, already dead, while her husband died shortly after the arrival of the doctors.

The two children, still in their beds, were immediately rescued and transported to the Regina Margherita hospital, but for Alessandro there was nothing to do.

For the little sister Aurora, the hopes are over this evening.

Alberto and Barbara had married in 2015 and had recently moved into the villa, which has just been completed, after having lived for some time with the murderer's father and uncle.

In recent times, according to the reconstruction made by the investigators, they often quarreled and the woman would have expressed to her husband the desire to separate and want to leave home.


According to the investigators, it is precisely in these quarrels and in the woman's decision that the motive that prompted the man to pull the trigger, to exterminate his family and to kill himself should be sought.
