Riva del Garda: The murder of elderly Maria Skvor highlights the issue of family care. A tragic event has shaken the community of Riva del Garda, where 91-year-old Maria Skvor was killed by her 62-year-old daughter, Francesca Rozza, in their home. Investigations reveal that the murder occurred while the elderly woman was asleep, struck on the head with a blunt object. Following this extreme act, the daughter attempted to take her own life and is currently in the hospital receiving psychological support. The family situation was marked by difficulties and distress, with lawyers describing a context of mental suffering exacerbated by the inability to obtain adequate care.
Mayor Cristina Santi commented on the incident, emphasizing the importance of reflecting on public policies to support families in difficulty.

The event has raised questions about the increasing need for assistance in an aging and increasingly isolated community.
