The initial reconstruction of the facts indicates that last night a violent argument broke out between some family members for futile reasons and Joseph Capriati’s father allegedly grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the chest. Pietro Capriati, a 60-year-old man with no previous conviction, was arrested for attempted murder by the local police.
