A football fan allegedly cut his wife and children’s throats in a savage triple murder – and then went to the pub with pals to watch the England Vs Italy World Cup match.
The bodies of mother-of-two Cristina Omes, 38, and the couple’s children, five-year-old Giulia and Gabriele, 20 months, were found at their home in the residential area of Motta Visconti, near Milan.
All three were found with their throats slit as well as other stab wounds, according to reports in Italy.
Computer consultant Carlo Lissi has been charged with the triple murder.
Following hours of questioning the 31-year-old allegedly confessed to the grisly killings, telling police to give him ‘the maximum sentence’.
The father-of-two told detectives he had killed his wife first, followed by the two children late on Saturday night, it is alleged.
He then left home at around 11.30pm, to watch the World Cup match with friends, stopping en route to throw the murder weapon down a manhole, police sources said.
When he returned home shortly after 2am to ‘find’ the bodies, he called police.
A safe at the home was open with a small amount of money missing, but investigators had focussed on a private motive early on because of the murder of the baby, sources told Italian media.
And the lack of a murder weapon caused them to rule out a murder–suicide by the young mother.
Lissi is said to have told police he committed the horrific triple murder because he was in love with another woman.
