Why It Matters
The body of a young man was found on 5 October in via Attilio Hortis in Rome, near Villa Gordiani.
The State Police arrested a 19-year-old Tunisian citizen and a 24-year-old Italian woman as suspects, seriously suspected of having murdered a young man whose body was found on the morning of 5 October in via Attilio Hortis, near Villa Gordiani.
The investigative activity, conducted by the agents of the Flying Squad of the Rome Police Headquarters and coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office, made it possible to reconstruct the last hours of the victim's life through a detailed analysis of the images extrapolated from the video surveillance systems present in the area.
From the frames captured by the latter, the investigators managed to identify the car in which the victim would have gotten into, in the company of today's two suspects, around 8.00 am on the morning in which the murder would have taken place.
According to what was reconstructed by the men of the second section of the Capitoline Flying Squad, the same vehicle would have subsequently been immortalized, at approximately 11.45 am, right in Via Attilio Hortis, the place where the young man's lifeless body was found approximately thirty minutes after the report received by 1 1 2.
The circumstantial evidence against the two suspects found further confirmation in the investigations carried out in relation to an intervention carried out by the Carabinieri on the evening of 6 October, when the couple had been subjected to a check on board the same car.
Inside the vehicle, the military had found a kitchen knife considered by the State Police to be compatible, due to its characteristics, with the weapon used to fatally draw the victim.
