First they surrounded him, then beat him and once he fell to the ground they continued to attack him with kicks and punches . The victim was an eighteen year old , the facts date back to last October 16 and today the carabinieri arrested six young people, all aged between 18 and 20 .

The punitive raid took place in Sorrento (Naples) , the investigations started immediately thanks to the complaint of the victim's parents. The young man underwent several reconstructive surgeries, the prognosis for recovery at the moment is at least 3-4 months .

"To have a fracture like that, the kinetic energy was strong because it is not easy to fracture the jaw bone ," said the doctor treating the 18-year-old questioned by the police.

A brutal raid. The young man outside a bar was surrounded and immobilized, then he was repeatedly hit in the face that made him lose consciousness . Staggering, he fell to the ground and they continued to hit him. The 18-year-old contributed to the identification of those responsible for the ferocious attack, on two separate occasions, but also numerous eyewitnesses who gave names and surnames to the investigators.

The investigating judge of Torre Annunziata (Naples) Emanuele Cozzitorto has ordered house arrest , considering that there are serious indications of guilt and also the possibility that the suspects could repeat "serious crimes of the same type as the one being prosecuted" .

Not only that: although he does not believe there is any risk of evidence tampering, the investigating judge nevertheless urges the urgency of a preventive interrogation. Finally, explaining the reasons behind the measures ordered, the judge explains that in his opinion house arrest is the most suitable to contain "the negative personality" of the suspects, "clearly incapable of controlling their violent impulses", as can be seen "from the extreme gravity" of their conduct .
