Naples – The State Police executed an arrest warrant issued by the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office of Naples against a fifteen-year-old believed to be responsible for the serious injury to a peer that occurred late yesterday evening in Piazza Dante, in the heart of the Neapolitan capital.
The young man arrested will have to answer to the serious charge of attempted murder. The alarm was raised around 23:30 pm, when the operations room of the Naples Police Headquarters received a report of the arrival at the Vecchio Pellegrini hospital of a fifteen-year-old with a red code.
His condition immediately appeared critical, with a reserved prognosis due to the eight deep stab wounds he suffered to the abdomen and limbs.
The Mobile Squad agents, who immediately intervened on the scene, began investigations under the coordination of the Prosecutor's Office at the Juvenile Court of Naples. The first investigative activities have allowed them to collect significant circumstantial evidence against another fifteen-year-old, who was tracked down and stopped in the early hours of this morning at his home.
According to the investigators' reconstruction, the violent episode would have arisen from previous arguments and trivial disagreements between the two young people, who frequent the same meeting places in the city center.
In short, this is yet another episode of bad nightlife, increasingly frequent among minors who conceive their evenings as occasions not for 'meeting' but for 'confrontation'. The reasons are often trivial, indeed sadly non-existent.
The arrested fifteen-year-old was transferred to the Colli Aminei First Reception Center, where he will remain awaiting questioning by the preliminary investigations judge (GIP) of the Juvenile Court, who will have to validate the arrest and decide on any precautionary measures to be adopted.
The episode sheds a worrying light on the phenomenon of juvenile violence linked to nightlife, highlighting a worrying trend in relationships between very young people.
