Varcaturo – A past argument, never really settled, culminated in a tragedy on the beach of Varcaturo, a seaside resort on the border between Naples and Caserta. Nicola Mirti, 18, was killed yesterday with two stab wounds to the chest, inflicted with a spring knife over 20 centimeters long.
The murderer is believed to be Salvatore Sannino, 19 years old, already identified by the investigations and arrested that same afternoon by the Caserta Flying Squad.
The dynamics of the ambush
The murder occurred around 13:XNUMX PM yesterday in a local beach. Despite immediate help, Nicola did not make it: he died shortly after in the Emergency Room of the Santa Maria delle Grazie Hospital in Pozzuoli, where there were also moments of great tension.
What nailed Sannino, who did not confess, were the testimonies of those present and, above all, the images from the premises' surveillance cameras, which allowed the crime scene to be reconstructed.
An ancient rivalry and shady background
According to investigators, the motive dates back to nine months ago, when an unresolved rivalry arose between the two young men. Investigative sources do not exclude that criminal circles may be behind the fight: the victim, in fact, had a previous drug conviction, as confirmed by the police officers. Police of Castel Volturno and the Public Prosecutor's Office of Santa Maria Capua Vetere.
Murderer in prison awaiting validation
Sannino was transferred to prison and will face questioning before the magistrate. The charge is voluntary homicide, and the evidentiary framework already seems solid. But the fact that he arrived armed at the shore could trigger premeditation. He had in fact a 20-centimeter spring knife.
Meanwhile, the community of Varcaturo is in shock over a crime that brings attention to a territory often marked by tension and illegality. The question that many are asking is: how much crime is behind this death? The investigations could soon provide an answer.
