Police were attempting to conduct an eviction when the house blew up overnight in Castel d’Azzano, in northern Italy, in what is suspected to be an intentional act of violence.
Police have arrested two men and one woman, all siblings in their 60s, who were the targets of the eviction, The Guardian reported.
The house was filled with gas and the explosion was triggered by the front door opening when the law enforcement officers broke in, investigative sources said.
“Upon entering the house, we were confronted with an act of absolute madness,” the provincial police commander Claudio Papagno told the ANSA news agency. “A gas cylinder had been ignited, and the explosion directly hit our officers.”
