A 27 -year -old worker, Michele Vallelungahe was killed this morning in an ambush in San Pietro di Caridà, municipality of the Reggino on the border with the province of Vibo Valentia. The man, already known to the police for small facts, was reached by a lupara discharge loaded with balls while traveling an interpoderal road in a mountainous area in the Prateria area. Vellelunga, who would have interests in the trade of the timber and the cut of the woods, was brother -in -law of Domenico Oppedisanoa 24 -year -old agricultural worker killed in the same location on April 8, 2024, also with rifle strokes loaded with balls, while he went to a construction site for cutting the timber.
With that of today there are 4 crimes consumed in the area in three years. On September 10, 2022 to fall under the slices of Sicari had been Alessandro Morfei30 years old, killed with Lupara blows while working the land on a tractor in the countryside of Dinami, municipality of Vibonese located a few kilometers from San Pietro di Caridà, while on November 14 of last year, in San Pietro di Caridà, he had been murdered Stefano Cirillo21 years old, killed with pistol strokes, one of which had reached him in the head.
The investigations on the new murder are conducted by the carabinieri of the Compagnia di Gioia Tauro and coordinated by the Palmi prosecutor. The military are also trying to check if there can be a link between the four blood events. The resurgence of blood events could, since the next few hours, induce the district prosecutor of Reggio Calabria to take on the ownership of the investigations, taking into account that in that border area between Vibo Valentia and Reggio Calabria, for some time, contrasts would have exploded in organized crime for illegal control of the cutting of the woods and the trade of the timber.
