The man, who was forbidden to approach his family, was found unconscious in the same house in Cura di Vetralla. He had been discharged from a hospital in Rome where he was hospitalized for Covid. The body of the child discovered by the mother
He hadn’t been able to see his wife and son for a few weeks. He could not get close to them, nor attend the house where he had been until the Viterbo investigating judge notified him of the ban on meeting his family. Mirko Tomkow, a 44-year-old Polish worker, had been very violent, both with the boy and with the woman. Threats and repeated attacks that pushed his wife, Mariola Rapaj, Albanian maid of 35, to report him. Her husband’s escalation of violence had strained her, as well as frightening her. So much so that she had recommended with her son Matias, ten years old, not to open the door of the house, in a two-storey building in Stradone Luzi, in the center of Cura di Vetralla, in the Viterbo area, until she returned from work. To anyone, including Dad.

But yesterday afternoon something happened for which the child instead let his father in, who according to the findings of the carabinieri of the provincial command of Viterbo shortly afterwards killed him with a stab in the throat in the parents’ bedroom. So the worker could have ingested some medicine or substance that made him lose consciousness: now hospitalized in a prognosis reserved for the Belcolle hospital in Viterbo. Not in danger of life, but guarded under arrest for murder aggravated by the fact that the victim was a minor. At 3.30 pm yesterday, the neighbors who heard the desperate cries of the mother gave the alarm. Upon her return home after work, Mariola found her son now dead, while her husband was lifeless on the floor in another room.

In shock, unable to speak even with the carabinieri, the 35-year-old was transferred to a health facility in the area where she was held for observation. under sedatives. The carabinieri, coordinated by the provincial commander Andrea Antonazzo, on behalf of the prosecutor Paolo Auriemma, are trying to reconstruct what happened in the two hours that passed between Matias’s school leaving, who was attending the fifth grade in the primary at Cura di Vetralla. – right in front of the parents’ house and a stone’s throw from the parish of Santa Maria del Soccorso -, shortly after 1pm, and the mother’s discovery of the tragedy.

Until the early morning Tomkow was hospitalized in a Roman hospital because he suffered from Covid: it is not clear whether he secretly left or was discharged at the end of the period of isolation, even if investigators tend to exclude that the 44-year-old could be escaped from the infected ward to return to Vetralla where he still lived after the ban on approaching. A measure that was also taken on the basis of the testimonies collected among the neighbors in the building on Stradone Luzi: they had heard the couple arguing several times in recent times.

Social services have only recently been aware of the issue. We are rebuilding everything, confirms the mayor of Vetralla Sandrino Aquilani who for today has decreed the city mourning and organized a prayer vigil. The least we could do to honor the memory of that poor child – he continues -. For us, his seemed like a normal family, even if his father was known for some exaggerated behavior in the square, especially at night. Blame the alcohol, but we would never have thought of a conclusion so unheard of that now makes us feel really powerless.
