Afragola - “We are devastated. I would never have imagined that my son could do something like this. Until now, we only saw such tragedies on television. Now it has happened to us”.
Thus Domenico Tucci, father of Alessio, the 19-year-old accused of killing with stones Martina Carbonaro, 14 years old, breaks the silence and speaks with a voice full of pain and dismay.
In an interview, the man addressed a message to the victim's family: “I ask for forgiveness, on behalf of my son. Martina was a simple, good girl. No one deserves an end like that.”
“My son was in love with Martina”
Domenico Tucci rejects the idea that there were warning signs: “My son was not obsessed with Martina. He was in love, yes, but I never saw him have violent or possessive attitudes. She often came to our house, we laughed and joked. Never a hand on her, never a gesture out of place. He was jealous, sure, but like many boys”.
On the phrase pronounced by his wife to Martina's mother – “look at your daughter” – Tucci clarifies: “It wasn’t a threat. He said it because we knew the two were breaking up and maybe Martina was meeting another guy. It was just a sentence said with bitterness, not with hostility.”
The father of the suspect confirms his desire not to abandon his son: "Alessio made a mistake and will pay for what he did. But he is still our son, and the family will stand by him, despite everything. Even if the pain is immense, even for us."
Asked about any precedents, Tucci replies: “No, Alessio has never had any problems with the law. He’s a clean guy. I have, some trouble in the past, but those are old stories. I never thought something like this could happen to us. Why us?”
Finally, a chilling detail: “During the hours that Martina was missing, Alessio seemed calm. I asked him if he knew anything, and he repeated: 'No, I don't know anything'. I would never have imagined that he was lying. He had never done anything like this. And instead this was the first and only terrible thing he did in his life”.
The investigations continue, while the community of Afragola continues to deal with a tragedy that has shocked everyone.
