A woman in her fifties died after being attacked by her own son, a 25-year-old man, on a main road in Drobeta Turnu Severin, in the presence of several eyewitnesses. The woman had recently returned to Romania, where she had previously worked abroad.

The assault took place during daytime, when the man inflicted a fatal blow to the victim's neck. Residents in the area watched the shocking event, and some called 112. After committing the act, the perpetrator attempted to leave, but police forces who arrived at the scene detained him.

Investigators found that the man had previously had episodes of violence against his mother. The possibility that he had connections to drug use is also being considered. The exact cause of the assault remains to be clarified, pending the suspect's statements to shed light on the circumstances.

A criminal case for murder has been opened. In the event of a conviction, the maximum sentence provided by law is 20 years of imprisonment.
