The parents of Martina Carbonaro, the 14-year-old killed by stones, relive, as in a film in reverse, the words and gestures of her confessed ex-boyfriend, Alessio Tucci, 19. "He - says Marcello Carbonaro, the father - helped us with the search. I had my daughter's killer in the car and I didn't know it. When I called him he told me 'he went his way and I went mine'. Alessio told me he was going to take a shower, he shot himself in the foot: after the murder, he went home, went to take a shower, ate and went out".

Martina's mother, Enza Cossentino, is also uneasy. Yesterday she asked for a life sentence for Tucci, adding "whoever hurt her will pay." "He took a shower, that is, he took off his dirty laundry from the crime and no one knows where it ended up," she reflects now. " Alessio came to do the research with us and now I'm getting over the fact that the arrest took place at my house. Now that I no longer have my daughter, I don't know who is giving me this strength, maybe my angels: my mother, my father and my daughter," she adds. "Three weeks ago I learned that Alessio slapped my daughter," she recalls. "I had dinner at home and we couldn't talk, then in my room my daughter said she had put up with a lot, even a slap, and that she was wrong to accept these things. My daughter has always spoken well of her boyfriend, but today I have the doubt that more has happened and that she has kept quiet."

On the investigation front, the hearing to validate the arrest for aggravated homicide and concealment of a corpse notified yesterday to Tucci, defended by the lawyer Mario Mangazzo, will be held tomorrow in the Poggioreale prison in Naples. The Prosecutor's Office of Naples North has also set the assignment of the expert for the autopsy for June 3, which should be held on the same day.

" A ruthless crime that deeply affects every parent, every citizen, every human being ," Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said in a social video, sending a hug to the Carbonaro family. "We must do more, all together," she concluded, "For Martina. For everyone." "There are many measures that we have approved so far to try to stop this evil," she added, "but we must be aware that the rules will never be enough if we do not give rise to a profound cultural and social change. In recent years, steps forward have been made, but evidently it is not enough."
