TREBASELEGHE, ITALY – A father’s two teenage children were reportedly visiting him for the holiday season when he allegedly murdered the two of them by slicing their throats and then killing himself.

The disturbing murders took place in the town of Trebaseleghe, which resides in the Italian province of Padua. The victims, identified as 15-year-old Francesca Calzarotto and 13-year-old Pietro Calzarotto, were sent to stay with their father, 49-year-old Alessandro Pontin, for the holidays.

Pontin was reportedly separated from the children’s mother, and there was some degree of underlying strife between the two regarding child support payments. Pontin was apparently having a difficult time finding work as a carpenter and was trying to find other means to make a decent income.

When the murders occurred, the two teenage victims were reportedly sleeping in their beds. Evidence from the crime scene suggests that the two had awoken during the attack, as there were signs of blood strewn across the floor that was trampled upon.

After the two children were slain, Pontin was said to have taken the weapon used to slice the children’s throats to himself and committed suicide. (Read more.)
