AStrawberry - He had not accepted the end of the relationship with his ex, and for this reason he lured her to an isolated place and hit her repeatedly with a stone on the head and face.
According to investigators, this is the dynamics of the murder of Martina Carbonaro, the fourteen-year-old found lifeless on Tuesday night in an abandoned farmhouse next to the former “Moccia” stadium in Afragola.
The one who confessed to the crime was Alessio Tucci, a nineteen-year-old originally from Afragola, arrested a few hours after the body was found. During questioning at the Prosecutor's Office in North Naples, the young man admitted to killing Martina because "he didn't want to rekindle the relationship".
According to his reconstruction, the two had arranged to meet in the same place where they used to meet when they were together. Here, during an argument, Tucci he allegedly grabbed a stone and hit it violently until it killed her. Later, to hide the body, he hid it in a closet in the farmhouse.

After the mother's disappearance was reported on Monday around 20.30pm, the police of the Casoria Company and the Investigative Unit of Castello di Cisterna have sifted through cameras and testimonies, identifying the last traces of Martina in the images.
The discrepancies between the times recorded by the video surveillance systems and the first statements of the nineteen-year-old pushed the investigators to intensify the control: under pressure for several hours, the boy finally collapsed in front of the magistrates, confirming his responsibility.
Based on the confession and the first scientific findings, the Prosecutor's Office of Naples North has ordered the arrest of the suspect for aggravated murder and concealment of a corpse. The investigating judge will shortly confirm the precautionary measure in prison.
The news shocked the entire community of Afragola: “We are deeply saddened by the atrocious death of a young girl who was deprived of the right to live,” said Mayor Antonio Pannone. “It is a tragedy that shakes our community and reminds us how urgent it is to defend the rights and hopes of our young people.”
Martina had gone out with a friend for ice cream on Monday afternoon, but she never returned home. Her last movements were detected near the farmhouse where she was found, thanks to surveillance cameras. From that moment on, the search began, ending in the early hours of Wednesday with the discovery of her body, wrapped in some clothes and hidden under a mattress.
The investigation continues to reconstruct every detail of the attack and complete the forensic examinations. In the meantime, the community of Afragola mourns a young life cut short and hopes that similar acts of violence will never happen again.
