Naples. The hunt is on for the pirate who yesterday afternoon struck and killed a 30-year-old woman with her injured friend in a kayak.
A relaxing Sunday turned into a tragedy in Posillipo. The victim was Cristina Frazzica, originally from Taurianova but resident in Voghera and who had been in Naples as a tourist for a few days. With her on the kayak was a young 31-year-old Neapolitan criminal lawyer originally from San Giovanni a Teduccio.
The boat he was on with his friend was rammed by a vessel traveling at high speed. The pirate, after causing the accident, fled without assisting the victims.
The accident occurred around 17.30:XNUMX PM in the waters between Villa Rosebery and Giuseppone a Mare. The kayak, carrying Frazzica and his friend, was struck head-on by the vessel, causing them both to fall into the water. The woman was injured by the pirate vessel's propeller and, despite prompt rescue, died shortly thereafter. Her friend was rescued by another boater who happened to be in the area.
The Naples Public Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation into homicide and failure to render aid. Investigators are attempting to identify the pirate and reconstruct the accident. A search has been launched to locate the vessel responsible for the accident, which may have visible damage from the collision.
The death of Cristina Frazzica shocked the Posillipo community. The woman, who lived and worked in Lombardy, had been in Naples for a few days to spend a weekend with her friend. Her friends and family remember her as a cheerful and lively person.
The appeal of the Prosecutor's Office
The Naples Public Prosecutor's Office is asking anyone who may have seen something useful for the investigation to come forward. The information, even the smallest details, could be crucial to identifying the hit-and-run driver and bringing him to justice.
A warning to responsibility
The Posillipo tragedy, the first reported in the Naples news in the summer of 2024, reminds us once again of the importance of responsibility at sea. Anyone who navigates, whether aboard a vessel or a kayak, must do so with caution and in compliance with the rules. Failure to provide assistance in the event of an accident is a serious offense that can have tragic consequences.
