Who is the Ear Monster?
-------------------------------------------
Initial conjectures about his identity
Carla Garibaldi
Sadly, we know that the Ear Monster has killed four women and a man in a short time, always in the same horrible way, planting a long ice pick inside the ear and piercing the cerebrum.
We recall that the first victim was a housewife, Mrs Maria Capuò Tron married to a surgeon, fifty-two years old, killed in her small villa in Mongreno Street, on the foothills of Turin. It later turned out that in the past this now quiet bourgeois lady had been a trade union political rabble-rouser.
The second person killed was Giovanna Peritti widow Verdani. She was a 60-year-old pensioner who lived alone in a nice apartment in Corso Agnell
