The Carabinieri report on the murder of Simonetta Cesaroni, the girl found dead in an office on Via Poma in 1990, points the finger at Mario Vanacore, son of the building's doorman.
The military reconstructed every single step of the day of the murder, but the Rome prosecutor's office requested that the case be closed, believing that the evidence against Vanacore was insufficient.
According to the Carabinieri's hypothesis, on the afternoon of August 7, 1990, Vanacore entered the offices in Via Poma, where Simonetta Cesaroni worked as a secretary. Finding himself in front of the girl, he attempted to rape her, but she rejected him and injured him. At that point, the man beat and killed her, stabbing her 29 times.
Vanacore's responsibilities would have been covered up by his own parents, Pietrino and Giuseppa De Luca. The two would have lied to the investigators during the investigation phase, also involving Simonetta Cesaroni's employer, Salvatore Volponi.
The Rome prosecutor's office, however, did not consider the evidence against Vanacore sufficient. In particular, the magistrates emphasized that the hypothesis of an attempted sexual assault is not supported by concrete elements.
Furthermore, they found that the statements of witnesses who saw Vanacore near the offices on Via Poma on the afternoon of the murder were contradictory.
The request for archiving has been sent to the investigating judge of Rome, who will have to decide in the next few days.
