Shocking Confession: Italian Man Admits to Killing His Mother Live on TV

In a harrowing incident that has shocked the nation, 50-year-old Lorenzo Carbone confessed to the murder of his mother, 80-year-old Loretta Levrini, during a live television broadcast in Modena, Italy. The confession came as he was approached by a journalist from Mediaset outside their family home in Spezzano di Fiorano.

Carbone, visibly emotional, stated, "Yes, it was me, I suffocated her, I'm sorry. I killed her, I couldn't bear it anymore." He described the gruesome details of the crime, admitting to using a pillow and a noose to strangle his mother. The tragic event unfolded after a series of arguments between the mother and son, leading to Carbone's violent outburst.

The murder was discovered by Carbone's sister, who found their mother’s body on the bed during a routine visit. The police quickly directed their investigations towards Carbone, who had initially gone missing after the incident. He was later located and apprehended, but not before he made his shocking confession live on air.

  • ## Public Outcry Over Media Ethics The live confession has sparked significant backlash on social media, with many criticizing the journalists for their handling of the situation. Critics argue that the persistence of questioning, despite Carbone's fragile mental state, was unprofessional and unethical. Comments flooded in condemning the media for not stopping the interview to prevent the spread of disturbing details regarding the crime. One user stated, "This is not journalism. You should be ashamed. How could you broadcast a man in such a confused state who confessed to murder?" Another remarked on the need for the media to prioritize ethics over sensationalism, especially in cases involving mental health crises. As the investigation continues, the focus remains on the tragic circumstances that led to this shocking matricide, raising important questions about family dynamics, mental health, and the responsibilities of the media in reporting sensitive matters.
