Pietracatella ricin poisoning investigation intensifies
Investigations into the ricin poisoning deaths of Antonella Di Ielsi and Sara Di Vita in Pietracatella are intensifying. Authorities are focusing on a narrower circle of individuals, conducting repeated interrogations to clarify contradictions in previous statements.
Recently, Gianni Di Vita, the husband and father of the victims, underwent a six-hour questioning session alongside a long-time friend. The investigation is also looking into the friend's husband, a laboratory technician, though his interrogation has been postponed to next week. While Gianni Di Vita has been a central figure in public suspicion, medical tests confirmed that he and his surviving daughter, Alice, tested negative for the poison.
Criminologist Aldo Di Giacomo has publicly stated his professional opinion that Di Vita is not the perpetrator, arguing that media suspicion has not yet been supported by objective evidence. Currently, the double homicide remains formally attributed to unknown persons.
