Meanwhile, new details continue to emerge in the minutes of the statements made by the boys involved in the affair. The key witness, among other things, said he was “sure” that Thomas “was dead”, had been hit by “many stab wounds in front of me. For example a stab wound to the abdomen, a stab wound to the leg, where there are arteries”. Another young man very close to one of the two minors arrested, who was in Baden Powell park on Sunday afternoon during Thomas’ killing, admitted: “We didn’t think about calling anyone, neither the police nor an ambulance.” The testimony confirms how the small group, despite being aware of what had happened, left the park to go “peacefully to the seaside”, while the 16-year-old’s body was lying in the undergrowth. In his statements, the young man underlined that, after the events, when the key witness “came back, he told us that the boy was dead”. At the seaside – he said again – the two minors arrested gave a summary of what happened. I know they were stabbed.” The boy also underlined that one of the two young men arrested “had a gun. He showed it to me after he was done with it. He had it in his pocket. I don’t know how he had it. He told me that it was unloaded, without any shots. ” Another of the very young people involved, in his testimony, said he was convinced that the two boys stopped “had organized themselves for this thing, to meet this boy”.
