There were other rifle shots before the (fair skin) man disappeared without leaving any trace. The only young man left unharmed called for help and the Carabinieri arrived soon after. Soumayla was transferred to the neurosurgery department of Reggio Calabria hospital, but despite the immediate surgery he couldn’t make it. Two days after the assassination, a 43-year-old farmer was arrested on charges of voluntary homicide. While searching in his house, the investigators found the same clothes described by the compatriots of Soumayla, still blood stained, in his washing machine. The magistrates of Vibo decided to speed the time up and issue the detention order as soon as possible, since there were reasonable fears that he could escape.
