Giugliano – A shocking family attack occurred in an apartment in Giugliano, just steps from the city center. A 14-year-old was hospitalized with injuries to his neck, arms, and left shoulder.

It wasn't a stranger who attacked him, but his older brother, a 20-year-old boy, who was arrested by the Carabinieri on charges of aggravated assault.

The incident unfolded in just a few dozen minutes. Carabinieri from the Giugliano company's mobile radio unit responded to a call to 112. When they entered the home, they found an ambulance already there: the medics were busy treating the minor, who was bleeding from wounds inflicted by a kitchen object.

The attacker was found in the garden

A few meters away, in the home's garden, the officers located the attacker. The twenty-year-old also showed signs of a struggle : a cut on his forehead and scratches on his arms.

Shortly afterward, he himself admitted to having hit his little brother with a fork, which was found still covered in blood and immediately confiscated.

The shock motivation

But the detail that left even investigators stunned was the alleged motive. According to the reconstruction, the young man acted to indirectly attack his grandfather. "I hurt my brother because he bears his name and is his favorite," he allegedly explained to the police. A distorted reasoning, which highlights a complex family situation marked by tension.

The family context

The parents of the two boys were also present at the home at the time of the attack. The family, according to reports, is experiencing difficult circumstances, with fragility and difficult situations that have worsened over time.

The 20-year-old, with no criminal record, was arrested and transferred to prison. The 14-year-old was hospitalized with a 30-day prognosis: his injuries, though serious, were not life-threatening.

It's truly sad that a family could get to this point. Conflicts between siblings can happen, but to hurt someone with such an object for such a strange reason is alarming. I hope the 14-year-old recovers soon.
