"But how am I being investigated? I didn't kill my son, this is inhumane."
Speaking is the father of Riccardo Boni, the 17-year-old boy who died buried in a hole he himself dug on the beach of Montalto di Castro , in the Viterbo area.
The man is being investigated for manslaughter . This is a "necessary" action, the Prosecutor's Office explains, to determine what happened and arrange an autopsy on the young man's body. The boy was a minor, and his parents were responsible for supervising him.
"There were no other charges beyond manslaughter," explains Prosecutor Liguori. "What we're interested in is understanding how the boy died, whether he was taken ill before being buried by the collapse, while digging that five-foot-deep hole to please his little brothers."
But Riccardo's father isn't having it, and vents in an interview with Corriere della Sera: "But how are you being investigated? This is inhumane! Manslaughter? It's absurd, I didn't kill my son. I want to understand what happened in that damned hole, how Riccardo died, whether he was taken ill by the exhaustion, the heat. And why didn't he scream, ask me for help?"
He was keeping them within sight, the man says: "I was there, two or three meters away. Riccardo was 1.75 meters tall, the hole was 1.50 meters deep, and his head was sticking out. I don't know if it was the heat or the fatigue, but at a certain point he must have collapsed and didn't even have time to scream. Why didn't he?"
In short, being included in the register of suspects adds pain to an already immense pain.
