Lucia Caiazza killed by ex, for the judges: a blow to the spleen caused death

The prosecution's hypothesis "...is fully consistent with the actual course of events..." The Second Section of the Naples Assize Court has no doubts. It was that violent blow to the abdomen, a kick or a punch, delivered to the spleen by Vincenzo Garzia during their forced cohabitation due to the lockdown, that triggered the chain of events that led to the death of Lucia Caiazza, to whom the man had likely only become involved for financial reasons.

A blow passed off as a fall down the stairs, delivered between May 4 and 10, 2020, which caused, medical consultants claim, an internal lesion with bleeding, which remained silent for days. An internal wound that ultimately forced the woman, victim of a violent man and a sick love, to be admitted to the San Giovanni di Dio hospital in Frattamaggiore where not even two surgical interventions could prevent her death, shortly before 23 p.m. on May 14, 2020.

But, in the reasons for the sentence with which the judges last July 14 condemned Garzia to 16 years of imprisonment for unintentional homicide, another fact also emerges: this tragedy would not have occurred if only one of the three women who had become romantically linked to that violent man had reported the mistreatment she was suffering.

Including Lucia, who has always denied the beatings she received, even to doctors, and justified the bruises that her daughters Sara and Rosa, defended by the lawyer Sergio Pisani, and her relatives pointed out to her, as the side effect of the anti-platelet drug therapy she had been undergoing for years. Drugs, moreover, which, together with her reticence to admit the abuse, have made it even more complicated.

“Garzia – the judges emphasize – has always had domineering and violent behavior in the domestic sphere…”. In addition to the confidences of the defendant's wife, which emerged during the trial, even one of his ex-partners, whom the man had continued to see during his relationship with Lucia, speaks of his behavior: “…in the painful deposition given, she admitted to having continuously suffered, over the years of their cohabitation, an incessant succession of violence, insults, threats, while persevering in an incomprehensible self-destructive feeling, to continue to relate to Garzia, even after their separation and the new relationship woven by the man…”.

“This story – specifies the lawyer Sergio Pisani – teaches us how important it is to report, if Garzia's ex-companions had done so, now perhaps we wouldn't be talking about this murder”.

Caivano – An arrest that brings to light one of the most dramatic pages in Neapolitan news. Yesterday, the Carabinieri snapped handcuffs on Ciro Migliore, a 27-year-old already known to law enforcement, during a drug raid in Caivano's green park. The man, identified as an alleged drug dealer, is the same young transgender man who was the boyfriend of Maria Paola Gaglione, the 16-year-old who died in the accident in September 2020. The tragedy, which shocked the entire community, was caused by the victim's brother, Michael Gaglione. As established in the trial, the man, opposing his sister's relationship, chased the couple on a motorcycle. During the chase, the scooter on which Maria Paola and Ciro Migliore were riding crashed, causing the young woman's death. Michele Gaglione was sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in prison for manslaughter. Yesterday's arrest by the police adds a dark piece to Migliore's story. The military raided his home, finding evidence of what appears to be a well-organized drug dealing ring: among the findings, 10 pre-packaged doses of cocaine and crack, packaging material and a "lmaster book" with initials and numbers, likely the accounts from the illegal sale. €1.675 in cash was also seized, presumably the proceeds of the illicit activity. The September 16th investigation is not the first drug dealing investigation involving Ciro Migliore after the death of his girlfriend; already in February 2021, he was targeted by law enforcement for similar crimes. The arrest closes a tragic cycle, where a family loss is intertwined with stories of deviance and illegality.

From a status symbol for the few to an icon of future mobility: in twenty years Tesla revolutionized the concept of electric car. Drive a Model 3 or a Model Y Today it doesn't just mean traveling with zero emissions, but also enjoying sports car performance, continuously updated software and the convenience of the Supercharger network.

However, the desire to get behind the wheel of a Tesla faces two significant obstacles: thehigh purchase cost, which starts from over 40.000 euros, and the rapid technological evolution which leads to a rapid devaluation of the vehicle.
