  • Italy: family poisoned by thallium

    They spent their vacation in their country house at Varmo, in the province of Udine, like every summer, but when they returned four people from the same household residing in Nova Milanese (Milan), they ended up in a hospital for poisoning. Father and daughter, Giovanni Battista and Patrizia Del Zotto, aged 94 and 62, are dead, while a 19-year-old, respectively wife and mother of the victims, is hospitalized at Desio (Monza) with her 58-year-old daughter.

    the possibility that family members are left inxicated by ingestion of contaminated food or water becomes now more plausible than the initial hypothesis of a thorn poisoning due to prolonged exposure to exhalations of pigeon excrement infesting the barn of the Varmo house .

    Thallium poisoning: excluded the contaminated water

    It was not the water of the artesian well used on vacation to cause thorn poisoning that led to the death of the 62-year-old Patrick Zotto, his 94-year-old father and the inoculation of other family members. The confirmation came from the tests carried out on the samples of water taken in the well of the summer residence of Varmo - in the province of Udine - where the family spent a few days vacationing before returning to Nova Milanese.

    Meanwhile, in these hours, another hypothesis is being made: to tempt into thallium may have been potatoes stored in some resorts in the holiday home, perhaps contaminated with pesticides or pests following a deratization in the summer.

    Intanto in in queste ore si fa strada un'altra ipotesi: a provocare l'intossicazione da tallio potrebbero essere state delle patate

      After daughter and father, mother also dies

      Maria Gioia Pittana, a third member of the Del Zotto family affected by thistle poisoning, died this night too. The woman, 87, was the wife of John the Baptist and mother of Patrizia, dead a few hours away from each other in a hospital in Desio (Monza) on October 2 last. This is what the General Direction of the Asst of Monza communicates.

      The barn of the country house would be infested with pigeons, whose excrements contain thallium, metal also present in the topics. It was thought that exhalations, inhaled for a long time, might have been the cause of family poisoning.

      The Rivignano carabinieri of the company of Latisana (Udine) yesterday made a new entry into the country house of Santa Marizza di Varmo (Udine) where the Del Zotto family had spent the summer holidays. The Arms Military, accompanied by healthcare technicians 3, took the filters of a dehumidifier and a house conditioner, which will be analyzed to test for any possible contamination of thallium.

        Thallium poisoning, hospitalized two other family relatives

        The mystery of the thallium squeaks. Two other people have been hospitalized on Monday at Desio Hospital, with obvious similarities to poisoning: I am a husband and wife of 83 and 81, relatives of the Del Zotto family in Nova Milanese, in Brianza, who for the last month and a half caused by substance intoxication - once used as a topic and then removed from the market - has already recorded 3 victims (the head of the family Giovanni Battista of 94 years, his wife Maria Gioia of 87 and her daughter Patrizia of 62) and 3 people who were hospitalized (the other daughter, Laura Del Zotto, 58, Enrico Ronchi, the husband of the late Patrizia, and the caretaker Serafina Pogliani, 49). Now, the two elderly in-laws of Domenico Del Zotto, brother of Patrizia and Laura, were also hospitalized. He personally is fine. His in-laws always live in Nova Milanese. According to what they learn, their conditions are not such as to make them suspected of being in danger of life, but are still kept in close observation.

        L’avvelenamento ha già fatto tre vittime. Ricoverati marito e moglie di 83 e 81 anni, suoceri di uno dei fratelli colpiti dal malore il mese scorso. La causa sarebbe un avvelenamento da cibo, ma non si è ancora appurato quale sia stato l’alimento killer

          Thallium in the herb for teas, so in 3 they died and 5 are in the hospital

          Traces of thallium in excess of the minimum safety threshold have been found in a "sampled" herbal tea at the home of Alessio Palma and Maria Lina Pedon , the two spouses of Nova Milanese , in the province of Monza , hospitalized since mid-November for poisoning thallium .
          The two elders are only the last two cases, in order of time, which occurred within the same family , in which three people died and five, in total, ended up in the hospital. The two spouses are the in-laws of Domenico Del Zotto , brother of Patrizia Del Zotto , who died in October. Because of thallium , Gioia Maria Pittana , 87, a mother of Patrizia and wife of Giovanni Battista , 94, also died for the same reason. The " thallium " infusion , contained in a brand-free terrine and of indications attesting its origin, has been "sampled" by the technicians of the Health Protection Agency for the province of Monza and Brianza , during the last survey carried out from the carabinieri.

          Tallio nell'erba per tisane, così sono morte 3 persone e 5 sono finite in ospedale. Ora è caccia a chi ha venduto il composto alla famiglia Del Zotto.

            27-year-old nephew arrested for premeditated murder

            A two-month investigation. Three dead and five more poisoned. And a mysterious killer: thallium. A metal that is lethal to the body. On the day of Sant'Ambrogio comes the turning point in the investigation of the case of Nova Milanese. The carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Milan, led by Colonel Luca De Marchis, have arrested Mattia Del Zotto, 27 years old. The young man is held responsible for the triple murder of his aunt Patrizia Del Zotto (63) and his paternal grandparents Giovanni Battista Del Zotto (94) and Gioia Maria Pittana (91). The 63-year-old and the elderly father had died first on October 2; a few days later, on the 13th, his mother had also died. The murders - according to the reconstruction of the investigations - were premeditated and performed "by administration of thallium sulphate".

            Mattia Del Zotto, introverso e fissato con l’informatica, avrebbe ucciso la zia Patrizia e i nonni paterni. Intossicati altri cinque familiari. Trovate le ricevute dell’acquisto del tallio. «Fermato prima che facesse altre vittime»
