Murder at the Yoghi pizzeria: customer kills owner and wounds sister
Raffaele Stipa, owner of the Yoghi pizzeria in Reggio Emilia, was stabbed to death on Sunday evening around 22:30, according to rainews.it. His sister Antonella, who had attempted to stop the attacker, was seriously injured and is being treated at Santa Maria Nuova hospital.
The crime occurred in the premises on Via Gran Sasso d'Italia, in the southern part of the city. According to initial reconstructions, a regular customer — of foreign origin — presented himself requesting yet another free pizza. Stipa allegedly refused: "I've already given you three, that's enough now." The man then allegedly stabbed him, also hitting his sister before fleeing.
The victim, in his sixties, was originally from Capo d'Orlando, in the province of Messina, but had lived in Reggio Emilia for years and had run the pizzeria for about twenty years. The murderer is currently being sought by police.
