«He made deathly noises and they told him to shut up. He was on the ground, with one leg crossed over the other, bent over, exposed to blows on his side». So he was killed Thomas Lucianito Pescara. «They said that (the first attacker ed.) gave 15 stab wounds»while the accomplice «who then took the knife, with a black blade and gave him ten more».
Thomas Luciani killed, admissions
The testimony is direct and comes from the son of a high-ranking policeman, from a boy who told, first at home and then to the investigators, what happened on Sunday evening at Baden Powell, where two of his sixteen-year-old friends stabbed their peer for a debt of just 250 euros. A mere drug issue.
Pescara, who are the two high school students accused of killing Thomas: father non-commissioned officer, mother lawyer
“I believe in justice, but I can only pray,” says a mother of one of the two minors arrested for the murder. «I can’t say much, there is the confidentiality of the investigation – says the woman, a lawyer – But I can say what concerns me: I pray for those who are there and for those who are no longer there». To the question from the Corriere della Sera correspondent, the lady replies that she doesn’t know “fully” what her son thought of her. «The responsibilities must be clarified, it takes time. I know I have to wait.” And among a few other words she adds: “I have my job which gives me confidence in justice and my faith, I don’t want to say more.” The matter is in the hands of the L’Aquila Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office. After the stabbing, we read again in the article, the two suspects – the other is the son of a police sergeant – attempted to intimidate their friends so that they would not reveal what had happened, «but one of them alerted the police ».
The father of the eyewitness, who has had a successful and important career in the force behind him, wasted no time. He checked and called the operations center. Then the son was listened to and told everything: «I was shocked, I didn’t know what to do, I wanted to stop them but I didn’t know how. While they were doing it, it seemed like their minds were no longer there», said the boy, whose story (to Repubblica) finds confirmation in the narratives of other friends present (four in total) and also in the images of the security cameras in the area. Elements that made it possible to arrest, less than 24 hours after the crime, the son of a local policeman and that of a teacher registered in the lawyers’ register. In the testimony there is also talk of a gun: «I noticed that (one of the two minors stopped, who must remain anonymous, ed.) had a small gun»we read in one of the minutes of the testimony. «Maybe download»in an other.
Thomas Luciani, 16 years old and with a troubled path due to drugs, was “repeatedly stabbed to death with a knife”. The medical examiner, Dr. Cristian D’Ovidio, speaks of 10 stab wounds “continuously from a stabbing and cutting weapon” on the back, then another 13 on the right side, 1 in the right thigh. A crime of crazy violence, as the kids present describe it.
SUSHI
There are children of policemen, lawyers and professionals in the area. However, some of them have different ambitions from those of their parents. They crave street life, they follow convicted singers and YouTubers on social media. And among them there are those who “sold hashish”. For this reason he had accrued a drug loan from the victim. «He had told us that he had to meet him – the story continues – he had made us understand that he wanted to give him two slaps. We all headed together near the station where there is a sushi restaurant».
