Rome, night of fear in the convent: priest robbed and stabbed
An assault that ended up in the blood. An individual armed with a knife managed to break into the Generalate in via Alessandro Severo, in Ostiense. Once inside the convent he went up to the sixth floor at night and without making any noise and entered a room of an 89-year-old clergyman who he beat up for robbery. Not only that, the friar although very old, reacted in front of the bandit who wounded him with a stab in the hand. A deep slash that caused him a serious injury. The bandit probably knew exactly that the friar kept some valuables and, in fact, he took possession of them.

The blow occurred in the night between Saturday and Sunday. The loot, which has yet to be quantified, should be around a few euros among some precious stones, cash and other valuables that the religious kept in his room.
The carabinieri of two different stations are of the case. As soon as the other religious called 112 on the spot, a crew of carabinieri from the San Sebastiano station and another from the San Paolo station rushed. An ambulance was also on site which transported the religious to the Cto della Garbatella hospital.
RECOVERED
The eighty-nine-year-old entered the emergency room in red code considering the blood leaking from one hand. Then, he was medicated by the medical staff who applied several stitches to him. Given his age, the religious was hospitalized as a precaution. The prognosis is 30 days. The carabinieri of the Carabinieri Operative Unit of the Eur company materialized in the convent. It is they who investigate the blow to the convent that from a simple theft has turned into a robbery ended in blood. The military also took some photos during the inspection which lasted more than two hours. He tried to understand how he managed to enter the thief in the convent. It is likely that he was introduced into the Generalate through a French window on the ground floor. The French window would not have been alarmed. So the robber, late at night, found himself easily in the convent. Then he went up all the floors up to the sixth to enter the room of the 89-year-old friar who was sleeping. The old man was awakened by the presence of the bandit who first threatened him. Then, when he saw that the religious resisted, he deeply wounded him in the hand. The cleric was unable to tell the investigators whether the bandit could be Italian or foreign. From the manner of the blow it could be assumed that the bandit is a foreigner: a dangerous maverick who has taken so many risks to act alone. Then, he didn’t hesitate to hurt the old man in his bedroom.
The military is also checking the cameras outside the facility. From the images of someone seen by the carabinieri, the photo of the lone robber could be extrapolated.
