Benno neumair He confessed. According to the minutes of two interrogations recently declassified by the Bolzano prosecutor’s office, it was he who killed the parents Laura perselli me Peter neumair in the night of January 4th finally, to later throw them from a bridge in the Adige river. To communicate the latest news of the investigation are the same magistrates who, at the same time as the declassification of the documents, requested evidentiary incident to determine the child’s ability to understand and love. Neumair, currently held in Bolzano prison, will therefore be subjected to psychiatric report in the case of a green light from the investigating judge. The confession took place one month ago, immediately after the discovery of the body of his mother Laura Perselli in the Adige. So said the lawyer for the young man from Bolzano, Flavio moccia: “The confession,” he explained, “came after a strong and intense psychological collapse.”

The couple suddenly disappeared on January 4. Three weeks later, on January 29, the son was arrested on charges of murder and concealment of the body. The first turning point occurred on February 6, when the body of Laura Perselli was found in Adige, near Egna. During the guarantee questioning the 30-year-old had made use of the right not to answer, but later, through his defenders, he expressed his willingness to meet the investigators. Thus we come to the confession: Benno Neumair, according to theAnsa, told investigators that he strangled his father Peter after a brief fight, while Laura Perselli was murdered the same day at a later time. The 30-year-old man also allegedly dumped both bodies into the river.

Therefore, the turning point in the case occurs more than two months after the disappearance of the couple and after weeks of silence. The latest evidence dates back to mid-February, when autopsy on the body of Laura Perselli had confirmed the death of strangulation. The markings on the body were compatible with the use of a climbing rope, like the ones Benno Neumair had at home. The investigations, however, have immediately focused on the minor, due to suspicious attitudes, starting from that 20-hour delay between the “disappearance” of the parents and the moment when the alarm was raised.

Then there are the elements collected in weeks of research: the travel from Bolzano to Ora, which lasts longer than normal, the mobile phone turns off and on again a short distance from the Vadena Bridge where he blood stains of the father. Still the clues in Volvo that Benno Neumair was about to get washed, the finger wound, and hydrogen peroxide bought from a convenience store. Without forgetting the suspicions of the relatives, starting with his sister Madè, and the audio in which even the mother was worried about some behaviors of the son.
