The Naples Flying Squad arrested Giuseppe Musella, 28, brother of Jlenia Musella, the 22-year-old stabbed to death in Naples. The 28-year-old, currently being held in Naples' Secondigliano prison, was served by the State Police with an arrest warrant issued by the Naples Prosecutor's Office for voluntary homicide.

He turned himself in to the police and later confessed. The girl was stabbed in the back yesterday afternoon and died shortly after arriving at the Villa Betania hospital in the Ponticelli neighborhood, where her brother dropped her off and drove away.

The two boys lived alone together; both their mother and stepfather are currently in prison. The man is believed to be a prominent member of the Casella-Circone clan, which controls illegal activities in the area.

Musella, in his confused account to investigators, spoke of "loud music": this was apparently the trivial pretext that sparked the violent fight between the two Musella brothers.

The screams, followed by the shoving, slapping, and punching. According to the police's reconstruction, Giuseppe grabbed a knife and threw it, striking Jlenia in the back. He then picked her up and left her in the emergency room. He then left, wandering aimlessly until he decided to turn himself in to investigators.
