The Easter Drama in Milan
Easter evening turned into a nightmare for a Milanese family, when domestic worker Angelito Acob Manansala was found strangled inside a villa on Via Randaccio. The tragedy shocked the local community, leading to the rapid identification and arrest of the alleged perpetrator, Dawda Bandeh, a 28-year-old of Gambian origins.
The investigations revealed a disturbing dynamic, with the investigating judge of Milan, Domenico Santoro, who validated the arrest of the suspect, considering that there were serious indications of guilt.
The investigations and the decision of the investigating judge
According to the investigation, the judge emphasized the seriousness of the facts and the dangers of escape and repetition of the crime. The decision to keep the suspect in prison was motivated by the need to ensure the safety and integrity of the investigation. The victim, a respected domestic worker, has left an unfillable void in the lives of the owners of the villa, who now find themselves having to deal not only with the loss of a loved one, but also with the trauma of such a violent crime that occurred in their own home.
This tragic event raises broader questions about the safety of domestic workers and the need to protect vulnerable people in private settings. Italian law provides protection measures for workers, but cases like this highlight the need for further awareness-raising and more effective policies to prevent violence. The local community is mobilizing, demanding justice for the victim and a deep reflection on how to ensure a safe work environment for all.
