Bus dirottato a Milano: Ecco l'audio dell'autista e dei bambini impauriti
Bus hijacked in Milan, Ousseynou Sy had premeditated everything: brought black sheets to cover the windows of the bus
Lawyer is requesting a psychiatric report on the driver. Home and car search: A colleague claims that a few days earlier he had bought an electric gun on the Internet. The pupils: "He took all the small hammers off the bus". Team of psychologists to follow the children
"I had this thing in mind for a while: I wanted to go to Linate to catch a plane and return to Africa and use the children as a shield: I spread gasoline to prevent the Carabinieri from shooting." These are the first words of Ousseynou Sy from the San Vittore prison, where he spent the first night under surveillance. Ousseynou Sy is the driver who hijacked and set fire to the school bus on Wednesday morning at the gates of Milan. At this moment, he has already been transferred to the ward of special protection, the one reserved for prisoners who can not be with others such as the repentant, sex offenders, those who have committed crimes against women and children and former members of the police. The interview first with the doctor on duty, then with the psychologist of the prison. He is still awaiting the interrogation to validate the arrest, which will be held tomorrow afternoon. The investigators will forward today to the magistrate
the request for validation of the arrest with the accusations of massacre, kidnapping, arson and resistance and then the interrogation of guarantee before the judge could be held tomorrow. Yesterday, in front of the prosecutors, the man claimed that he wanted to go to Linate [airport] by bus and then run off with a plane to Senegal, but he had nothing with him, let alone a plane ticket.
At these hours the Deputy Prosecutor Alberto Nobili and the State Prosecutor Luca Poniz are beginning to hear the reports of the pupils and accompanying persons of the two classes of the middle school of Crema. And so other evidences are added to the picture that describes the premeditation: when he arrived in Pantigliate the driver covered the windows in the front of the bus with black sheets, perhaps to prevent the children from understanding where they were. This material was also brought in in the morning before he drove off with the vehicle with which he was supposed to take the students from the gym to the school.
He had also removed from the car all the windbreak hammers with which the pupils could try to break the glass and run away.
The details emerge from the account of some witnesses and also from that of the first carabinieri who arrived on the spot, members of Carabinieri mobile Response team of San Donato. In a few seconds the agents had to make a choice, they blocked the bus and made the children get down from the back. All this while Sy was holding two lighters and threatened the Carabinieri that he would set everyting on fire if they touched him. And so he did shortly afterwards. The military had to pull out of the bus, while it was going up in flames that were engulfing even the attacker himself. The policeman Aldo Leone from Paullo station was slightly injured: he still has a hand wrapped due to a burn.
The lawyer, Davide Lacchini, has already announced that he will ask for a psychiatric report for his client. He explained, "It is a duty in view of the enormity of the act committed and the Public Prosecutor's Office also agrees on this." Then he explains:
"He was in a clear state of physical and psychological outrage: it is clear that the situation got out of hand, but he repeated that he had no intention of hurting anyone," the lawyer continues, thus illustrating the line of defense. "We therefore insist on the version of the "act of demonstration", albeit a "reckless" one."
From the San Vittore prison emerge a few statements from the driver, who would call himself a "pan-Africanist", explaining that Africa has been colonized and that Europe takes advantage of Africa "by putting governments there that are convenient to the West."
The investigators are trying to obtain the video-manifesto that the man posted on his YouTube channel - and about which he spoke to the prosecutors - a manifesto that he sent to his acquaintances in Italy and Senegal. In the film the man apparently explains the reasons for his actions as "against Italian migration policies." The Ros Carabinieri are working to reconstruct what happened: they searched the house and car of Ousseynou Sy yesterday, they also seized computer equipment. In the car the military would have found a tank and bags. The checks were carried out together with colleagues from the investigation team from Crema, where Sy is living. According to some rumors, the bus driver ordered in recent days on the Internet, through a colleague, a sort of electric gun, saying he had to give it to his new partner. All these evidences confirm the "premeditation of the act", which was declared certain also by the Chief Prosecutor of Milan, Francesco Greco, and by the number one of the anti-terrorism pool, the Public Prosecutor Alberto Nobili.
Moreover: the investigations show that in 2007, when his driving license was suspended for drunkenness, the man had asked for a sick leave from the company Autoguidovie for which he was already working, to avoid explaining why he could not drive.
For the children involved, it was decided that a team of psychotherapists will be ready to support them and their families from Monday onwards. The Municipality of Crema, where the young people attend secondary school, will make use of the support of the specialists of the Emdr Italia Association, who for years have been involved in cases of particularly traumatic emergencies and bereavements, including the tragedy in the discotheque of Corinaldo.
The Municipality of Crema will be a civil party in the trial against Ouesseynou Sy, the driver who yesterday burned down the bus on which he was carrying 51 secondary school pupils. This was explained by the mayor, Stefania Bonaldi, pointing out that the municipal administration "has no power of control" regarding the conditions of the staff of Autoguidovie with which a contract was signed at provincial level.
