Bad weather arrives, the burned-out wax candles and the cards in memory of Christopher Thomas Luciani, the 16-year-old brutally killed on Sunday 23 June in the ‘Baden Powell’ park in Pescara, have been removed. The Municipality and the Ambiente company, which takes care of cleaning the city, intervened in the afternoon outside the green area, whose fences in recent days had been filled with flowers and cards.
The weather alert
“Taking into account the weather warning for tomorrow (rain forecast, even heavy rain) – reads a note from the City Hall – it was decided to remove the now worn out wax candles and the tickets, which could be ruined, destroyed or swept away by the wave of bad weather that will hit the city. The rest has been fixed, in an attempt to secure the bouquets of flowers.
Safe-keeping tickets
The Municipality will be responsible for preserving the more than 60 tickets and signs addressed to Christopher, as a sign of respect for those who wanted to leave a public testimony of the dismay and pain that unite everyone”. The crime took place in an Rfi area adjacent to the park. In recent days, the Municipality temporarily closed the park, “in consideration of the continuous coming and going resulting from the murder, a sort of horror tourism, perhaps aimed at taking photos and publishing them on social media, which the administration wanted to block”, concludes the note.
