“They were in a terrible state”

It is not a “legitimate defence” and was motivated by a “complete loss of self-control”, however, the offense took place “in a special context”, as the two accused were arrested “just after suffering a robbery, according to what has been announced, it was only the latest in a long series.”

So there is no jail time for thirty-year-old Shu Zou and his uncle Liu Chongbing, forty-nine years old, accused of killing 37-year-old Eros Di Ronza ‘age and with several criminal records, with scissors, who entered their break at dawn on Thursday. barged in through Cermenate and grabbed a pack of “Scratch cards”. Investigating judge Tiziana Gueli, who was confirming the arrest for voluntary manslaughter, ordered the arrest of a house. Di Ronza and his accomplice who was a looker thought it would be an easy robbery: a diner on a sidewalk on the southern outskirts of Milan, a jacket to force the shutters, safe loot. Instead the alarm sounds, the owner’s husband and his nephew run, Shu Zou grabs a pair of scissors and jumps on Di Ronza, attacking the legs which flows out of the door of the club, chases him and finishes him when he falls to the ground. A murder of marked brutality, according to prosecutor Maura Ripamonti who asked for careful detention in prison for the two Chinese. Rejected by the investigating judge, who follows a trend back to the series of reactions of those who feel they have lost everything: “a display of anger and frustration” , he writes in the order confirming the arrest, in seeing “again the result of work disappearing immediately, with great financial damage as a result”. The judge says his uncle and nephew were unable to “manage this bad feeling with the necessary clarity and rationality”, allowing it to “take over”. It was Shu who asked for help and he immediately admitted: “It was me.” The “state of shock” in which they were found by the police immediately after the murder, for the judge, testifies to the “consciousness and desperation” for having committed “an act as bad as possible that they themselves did not think it was possible”. However, the “raw dynamics of the truth” and the “intensity of the attack” lead us to believe that there is a risk of the crime being repeated, because “there was a complete loss of self-control in the measure of taking the a crime a law in our own hands that is not allowed in our legal system”.

When I left the house I took scissors because I was afraid that someone would hurt me. I ran at him, he attacked me and out of fear I hit him.” The medical examiner counted 36 wounds: the body had a “graze” on the head, a scissor cut “on the neck” and at least 17 on the chest, sides and back, as well as nine on the “upper arms” and the same number on the legs. context and the action taken in a state of anger, the disproportion of the response cannot be failed,” said the prosecutor. An element which, according to the investigators, “leads to supporting the inability of self-control on the part of those arrested and their tendency to resort to violence as a form of personal justice”. Two, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, are socially dangerous.
