Paupisi Familicide: Suspect Confesses as Hospital Reports Stable Condition for Injured Teen

Investigators documented a past diagnosis of chronic psychosis with a 2011 compulsory treatment, prompting a forensic review of his criminal responsibility.

Overview

  • Doctors at Neuromed in Pozzilli say the 16-year-old remains intubated in a pharmacological coma with cerebral edema and stable hemorrhagic foci, and her prognosis is still reserved.
  • Prosecutors have detained Salvatore Ocone on aggravated double murder, attempted murder and kidnapping charges after he confessed, claiming his wife was aggressive and dominating.
  • A Carabinieri helicopter located Ocone’s car hidden near Campobasso, where officers arrested him without resistance and found the deceased 15-year-old and the gravely injured daughter inside.
  • Investigators report the attacks occurred at the family home with a large stone before a prolonged drive across Campania and Molise with the children in the vehicle.
  • Checks confirm Ocone’s history of chronic psychosis and a 2011 TSO, and authorities say his mental capacity will be evaluated as the case proceeds; the adult son, Mario, says he likely will not forgive his father.
