"The child - said his aunt Virginia - communicates only with letters, in which he writes what he feels and how he is. And my sister, when she sees him down, tries to make him talk, asks him if he wants to write to his father. In the last letter he wrote to his father that he is afraid that when he gets out of prison he will kill him too like he killed his mother. The child doesn't ask for anything, but you can tell from his behavior that he misses his parents. He was disappointed, because he adored his father". The son of Maria Archetta (Mariarca) Mennella, stabbed to death at the age of thirty-eight, on July 23, 2017, no longer speaks. from ex-husband Antonio Ascione, a 45-year-old pizza chef, in the apartment in Musile where the woman had recently moved from Torre del Greco with her fifteen-year-old girl and nine-year-old boy, in an attempt to rebuild their life after the separation. “The child,” Virginia Mennella, Mariarca’s sister, continued to Tg2 Dossier, “kept asking his grandmother to call his mother and his grandmother told him that his mother couldn’t answer the phone because she was working. So the child insisted on calling his father. Then the little boy started to get angry and his grandmother, who was feeling very bad, told him: I’m sorry, your mother is no longer here because your father killed her. The child found out this way.” For the killing of his ex-wife, Antonio Ascione was sentenced to twenty years in prison with the abbreviated trial.
