Lecco, kills his twelve-year-old children and throws himself from the bridge.

“You will never see them again.” This is the message that Marco Bressi, 45 years old from Gorgonzola, nearby Milano, sent to his wife Daniela the night between Saturday and Sunday before killing his two 12-year-old children, the twins Elena and Diego, while he was with them in the holiday home in Valsassina.

The man, who was experiencing a difficult separation from his wife, after the crazy gesture headed by car towards the Vittoria bridge in Cremeno and threw himself into the void from a height of 96 metres.

The same mother discovered the bodies of her two children on Sunday morning. Alarmed by her husband's message, she left home to reach Marino, the municipality in the Lecco area where the family's holiday home is located.

And there he made the atrocious discovery. Unfortunately, the health workers were unable to do anything for the little ones who had been suffocated and were now lying lifeless in the room. Meanwhile, the Lecco Carabinieri launched a search for the father, who was later found dead a few hours later.

A shocked neighbor said he heard muffled noises during the night like someone banging on the wall "maybe it was the little ones asking for help" he said crying. Bressi's family was well known in the village where they had spent their holidays for years and everyone is shocked. The children's mother was interviewed by the police to reconstruct the reasons for her husband's gesture. Now there remains an immense pain And a photo on Bressi's Facebook profile which was posted shortly before the tragedy: there is him and the two twins together and the writing "The three of us always together" .

The tragedy recalls that of Onno San Pietro near Brescia. In that case Pasquale Iacovone killed his two children and set fire to the house. Now he is serving a life sentence.
