Young man found dead in the street in Rome, a 19-year-old and a 24-year-old detained

State Police have placed a 19-year-old Tunisian citizen and a 24-year-old Italian woman under arrest as suspects in the crime, on serious suspicion of the murder of a young man whose body was found on the morning of October 5 in via Attilio Hortis, near Villa Gordiani. The investigative activity, conducted by officers of the Mobile Squad of the Rome police headquarters and coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office, made it possible to reconstruct the victim's final hours through a detailed analysis of images extracted from the video surveillance systems present in the area. From the frames captured by the latter, investigators were able to identify the vehicle onto which the victim would have gotten, in the company of the two individuals now under investigation, at around 8:00 a.m. on the morning when the murder is believed to have taken place. According to what was reconstructed by the men of the II Section of the capital's Mobile Squad, the same vehicle would later have been captured, at around 11:45 a.m., precisely in via Attilio Hortis, the place where the young man's lifeless body was found about thirty minutes after the report reached the 112 emergency number. The body of evidence against the two suspects found further confirmation in the checks carried out in relation to an operation conducted by the Carabinieri on the evening of October 6, when the couple had been subjected to a check aboard the same vehicle. Inside the vehicle, the military personnel had found a kitchen knife which the State Police deemed compatible, by its characteristics, with the weapon used to fatally stab the victim. The operation had stemmed from a report of an assault involving the same individuals. In light of the evidence gathered and in consideration of the concrete profiles of social dangerousness that emerged against them, the Judicial Authority ordered the two suspects to be placed under arrest as suspects in the crime for the offense of murder. The investigation continues in order to fully clarify the motive and any further circumstances connected to the case. Reproduction reserved © Copyright ANSA
