The stabber remains in prison – Teramo

TERAMO. The 19-year-old Macedonian arrested on charges of having stabbed a twenty-year-old from Teramo three times at the end of a violent argument that broke out in the historic center of Teramo remains in prison. The judge Roberto Veneziano rejected the request for house arrest made by the defense lawyer Rocco Giovanni Maria Alessi at the end of the validation hearing which took place on Wednesday in prison and during which the young man responded to the magistrate’s questions by saying: «I didn’t want to hurt him. We argued, there was a fight, I got scared and took the knife out of my pocket just to scare him.” In the house the soldiers found a switchblade, probably the one used in the attack, and clothes stained with blood. According to the prosecutor’s office, he stabbed the boy three times, hitting him in the abdomen and arm. Fortunately, the injured man did not have serious consequences: he was treated and released from hospital with a prognosis of thirty days. The violent argument broke out between the twenty-year-old from Teramo and the Macedonian near the remains of the Roman theater where the young man was in the company of some friends. According to the reconstruction made by the carabinieri, there would have been a violent argument between the two at the height of which there would have been stab wounds: three slashes, two of which to the abdomen and one to the arm with which the man from Teramo tried to protect himself. Witnesses said that they were the ones who blocked the attacker who had knocked down the other. The injured young man, who was immediately rescued, was transported to hospital where he was treated and discharged with a prognosis of thirty days: fortunately, his life is not in danger even if the blows to the abdomen could have had worse consequences. According to the version provided by the police, it seems that the origin of the attack was a previous argument that broke out between the two during a soccer match. The attacker was identified by the police a few hours after the incident thanks above all to the testimonies of some people and the images of some cameras.(dp)
