It was a 13-year-old boy who sent Giuseppe Pio D’Astolfo into a coma with a punch

the Corriere della Sera He writes today in an article by Nicola Catenaro that according to the carabinieri, who saw the cameras that immortalized the attack, the one who threw his fist, “despite his robust complexion, is a boy who has not yet reached fourteen years.” . With him were other minors, two brothers between the ages of fourteen and fifteen. Then there is a young man of eighteen and one of thirty, cousins ​​of the others. The older, however, called to lend a hand to the little ones. during the attack on Giuseppe and his roommate, he didn’t hold back. ”

The boy was in the company of a wedding couple, with whom he spent the evening. The attack took place in a place described by investigators as a “meeting place for young people, often to drink and use drugs.” It was a verbal disagreement that started it, made worse by the alcohol fumes. The five, who are currently at large, were reported for serious personal injury in competition. Now the Lanciano prosecutor and the L’Aquila juvenile court will have to decide what measures to take against them. The commander of the Carabinieri, Vincenzo Orlando, says that some of them are already known to the police.

The Lanciano Baby Gang

The newspaper also writes that the Lanciano baby gang belongs to a gypsy family and a degraded and difficult social context and some members of the family have little precedents of drug trafficking, robberies and experiences in prison. The Ansa news agency learns from health sources that D’Astolfo will only be able to come out of a coma when sedation is reduced and the procedure can begin today.

Just in these days the city of Lanciano is shaken after a vandalism against the monument to the ‘Samudaripen’, inaugurated two years ago in the Parco della Memoria in Lanciano not to forget the Nazi massacre of the Roma and Sinti. It is the second monument in the world, after Berlin, dedicated to the ‘Porrajmos’. Unknown yesterday, with gold and gray spray, they defaced the stone statue of the Majella and the base. Today in the place, while the municipal employees were busy cleaning, there were the Roma musician Alexian Santino Spinelli, ambassador of Romani Art and Culture in the world, and the president of the Anpi section of Lanciano, Maria Saveria Borrelli.

Even AdnKronos wrote yesterday that the smallest of the group, still thirteen, gave the only violent blow to the left temple of the victim. Two others are 14 and 15 years old, a fourth has just turned 18 and the oldest is 30. The only two adults are already known to the courts. The Carabinieri of the Lanciano Company identified them thanks not only to the witnesses, the engaged couple who was in the company of the 18-year-old and a third child who rescued him, but also to cameras that, although they did not point directly to the place of the attack . , have reconstructed the movements of the five allowing their recognition.

Meanwhile, the 18-year-old’s conditions are improving, still admitted to the neurosurgery room of Pescara hospital on a reserved prognosis and waiting to be awakened. The motives for the attack were useless: the five, who apparently knew the victim and friends, would have pounced on the 18-year-old and the wedding couple “upset” by his invitation to turn down the music. To make matters worse, alcohol abuse. The 18-year-old’s friend was also hit with a fist, fortunately with a smear, which got away with a three-day prognosis.
