Naples – “My client has always maintained that he was reacting to an attack”, says the lawyer Luca Ravielle, defender of the minor accused of the murder of Holy Roman, the 19 year old killed during the night between November 1st and 2nd, 2024 a San Sebastiano al Vesuvio.
According to the accused's version, He would have been the one to suffer the first attack. “A stone was thrown at him, he was confronted by Santo Romano and his friends, who slapped him. Then one of them pulled out a knife”, explains the lawyer. “At that point, frightened, my client pulled out his gun and shot, without realizing that he had fatally struck Romano.”
Lawyer Raviele emphasizes that the reconstruction of the defendant would be supported by the documents and some testimonies. Furthermore, it reiterates that the young man is a minor and has psychiatric problems.
At the resumption of the trial, set for 29th April, the defender will evaluate the defensive strategy. “It will be necessary to consider whether there are grounds for putative self-defense,” concludes Raviele. “His reaction was dictated by fear and the desire to defend himself”.
