Slaughtered, kicked and punched, to death. “Punished” because he defended a friend. Thus ended, at dawn, on a provincial night in early September, the life of Willy Monteiro Duarte. The 21-year-old Italian-Cape Verdean was on the ground, in serious condition, when rescuers arrived in front of the Colleferro pub, near Rome, where he had been attacked. The rush to the hospital was useless: Willy, whom all friends describe as an educated, calm and dedicated person, was already dead.
Four children were arrested for the attack. They are from Artena, a town near Colleferro, and their names were already known to the police from other events. Two of them, in particular, have a history of injuries and are known in the country for playing combat sports. Charged with involuntary murder in competition, the Carabinieri joined them shortly after the attack.
Hour after hour, the details of Willy’s last night are reconstructed. During the day he had worked. He was a kitchen assistant in a hotel in Artena. In the evening he went to Colleferro. At one point he saw that one of his companions was involved in an argument. He intervened to try to calm people down, to defend his friend. The question, which the researchers believe was born to be useless, seemed to be there. But it was not like that. The four, according to the first reconstructions, have decided to take revenge. They caught up with Willy and beat him fiercely.
Two friends of the young man also intervened and were injured. They will heal in a few days. The father of one of them told Agi: “They had just left a club and were returning to the car when they noticed there was a fight. My son and Willy approached to calm things down but those people, beasts because that’s the only way they can be defined, began to attack them and those who had intervened as well. My son and others managed to escape, poor Willy stayed on the ground. They beat him to death and kicked him in the head. Five to one Cowards My son was a good friend of Willy and he is in shock. Then the bitter conclusion: “That poor boy died because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Initially it was believed that he was attacked due to a mistaken identity, due to the color of his skin, but the hypothesis seems rejected.
Those who shared with him part of daily life remember him as a decent child. Promise of the soccer team from Paliano, the town where he lived, he was a Roma fan. He dreamed of wearing, sooner or later, that yellow and red shirt that he had so much for. His teammates say: “He was the soul of the team, the joy and adrenaline of everyone in moments of despair.” Some people remember his smile, which, he says, “was the passport of this good boy, studious and hard-working.”
A student at the Fiuggi Hotel Institute, Willy was, among other things, one of the extras in the historic Palio di Paliano procession. “He would proudly parade in 16th century clothing between a soccer game and training. Never a fight, never a teenage or school problem. Always loyal, respectful of the rules and of others ”, say those who knew him. Among friends there is anger and dismay at such an absurd death.
Tomorrow in the town where he lived and in the city of Colleferro the duel will be proclaimed. On the Facebook page of the municipality of Paliano we read: “Despair and despair. This is how our city feels now for the loss of our Willy: a splendid boy who has found himself in the wrong place, at the wrong time. The entire city of Paliano tightens around the family and shares the immense pain. “The mayor of Colleferro, Pierluigi Sanna, announced that the municipality will be a civil party in the process:” Losing words for me is very rare, but since this morning they remain in my throat without being able to reach my lips, “he wrote on Facebook. Our city and the entire territory are inhabited by good people, workers and students; our land cannot accept ferocity, unjustified violence, the thirst for death. “
A moving memory also comes from the institute the boy attended: “Our school comes together around the family. Without words, Willy, always smiling, in the dining room, proud of the uniform, in love with As Roma, our angel, we have no words ”. And the entire population of the area is speechless, unable to explain the reason for so much brutality.
