The confessed offender said this during the court hearing relating to the trial on the multi-aggravated voluntary homicide of Martina Carbonaro, the 14-year-old killed on 26 May 2025 in Afragola, in the province of Naples. The accused was heard by the judges of the Court of Assizes of Naples.
The court hearing in Naples began today, 10 November, relating to the trial on the multi-aggravated voluntary homicide of Martina Carbonaro, the 14-year-old killed on 26 May 2025 in Afragola, in the province of Naples. The accused, the ex-boyfriend and self-confessed criminal, is Alessio Tucci, was heard by the judges of the Court of Assizes of Naples. Some of Tucci's friends also appear on the list of witnesses, with whom he kept in contact on the afternoon of the murder, in the evening and also the following day, when the fourteen-year-old was missing.
The presence of the Carabinieri and the police was impressive, designed to avoid contact between the two families, that of the victim and that of the killer, between whom on several occasions there were exchanges of accusations and even threats. Tucci arrived in the courtroom wearing a black tracksuit and looking downwards. Enza Cossentino, Martina's mother, chose to sit in the immediate vicinity to have the opportunity to look him in the eyes. There was also a massive presence of cameras and journalists.
"We were in the farmhouse, we were hugging each other, a WhatsApp message arrives from that boy, I asked her if there was something with him, and she replied no: we argued and I hit her." Meanwhile, Tucci himself described the first scene of horror in this way, having confessed to the femicide of his ex, who was stoned to death in an abandoned farmhouse in Afragola. The young man, in room 116 of the Neapolitan Court, answered the questions of the prosecutor of North Naples, Alberto Della Valle, to reconstruct what happened on the day of the crime. Several times, while Tucci spoke, Enza Cossentino herself, and her father, Marcello Carbonaro, left the courtroom. The boy referred to in the questions is the friend with whom Martina had started an online friendship relationship, about a week before her death. The accused had become aware of it, as demonstrated by a WhatsApp conversation, read in the courtroom by the investigating magistrate: "Karma exists, you have to die for love", it was a transition. "I'll go where this one is and I'll kill you", wrote the accused again along with other messages characterized by threatening tones which also refer to knives. Previously, the prosecutor reconstructed, together with the accused, the meeting between the two and the stages of the journey they took together to the farmhouse where the murder took place. During the journey Martina also received several calls from her mother, "but she disconnected the call - said Tucci - she often did it, even with me".
Tucci recounted other moments of that day: "While I hit her, Martina was still. Do I remember the last blow inflicted? I'm in the dark. I remember attacking her in two places, in the corridor, then I picked her up and took her to a room in the farmhouse and I hit her one last time... I had a monster in me." The young man reiterated that he did not know the reason for that final stone blow, inflicted when Martina was lifeless on the ground. "Why did I kill Martina? I think out of anger accumulated that day, it's not a justification, I would like to understand too, a year and a half has passed and I still haven't understood", Tucci said again. "I hugged her, shouted her name, she didn't respond... then I hid the body", he further reported. "We got engaged in May 2023, I was 16 and she was 12", recalled the accused, reconstructing the dynamics of the relationship with the victim.
“They gave you the bonus, they even put you to work, you bastard, you killed her, you have to kill yourself too.” With these words, Marcello Carbonaro, Martina's father, and Enza Cossentino, her mother, addressed Alessio Tucci when he went from the witness stand to the cell during today's trial. "He will have a second chance, study and work, unfortunately my daughter will not have one and my soul will rise to heaven only when she gets justice", added Martina's mother. "I wanted to ask him Martina's last words - the mother told reporters - and why he killed her", he continued, adding: "He hasn't accepted the end of a love that isn't possession. Is he studying acting in prison? They'll catch him in 'Criminal Love' because his was a criminal love".
