A mental health professional and two
police officers were placed under investigation Monday for
allegedly failing to act to prevent the murder of a woman by her
mentally ill brother in Genoa on May 1.
Te woman doctor and the agents, who have not been named, were
allegedly remiss in not taking action to prevent Alice Scagni
being killed by her brother Alberto, sources said.
They will possibly be charged with failing to carry out their
duties and failing to report a crime, legal sources said.
"The news that finally there are three suspects on the serious
omissions that have manifested themselves in this dramatic story
cannot fail to please me," said family lawyer - said the lawyer
Fabio Anselmo.
"It is a first step towards ascertaining the truth. I hope that
the complaint we made for murder as a result of another crime is
registered and, that is, of those omissions".
