A 24-year-old originally from Eastern Europe is the person arrested by the police as part of the investigation into the murder of Alexandru Ivan, 14 years old, which occurred two nights ago in Pantano (Rome), in the car park of the C metro. several shots fired from the car which hit the boy who was in the square with his mother's partner, his grandfather and other family members.
The young foreigner showed up at the barracks last night with two lawyers.
An autopsy has been ordered on the body of the young victim which will help to clarify how many bullets hit Alex and which one was the fatal one.
Meanwhile, the Frascati police are investigating the episode. It remains to be ascertained whether the shots came from one or more weapons. The military have identified some elements, among these is the argument that the boy's stepfather had late on Friday evening inside a bar in the Finocchio district, opposite their home.
During the discussion, words turned to hands and it seems that it was the man who got the worst of it. Then later a "clarifying" appointment was set - apparently the telephone contacts were kept by the 24-year-old arrested - which ended with the tragic epilogue. "I told him to stay in the car with me, at first he listened to me but after a few minutes he got out of the car" said Katlan Petri, Alex's grandfather who was with him the other night. «When I heard the shots I got out of the car and approached him - he remembers - He was on the ground. Those who shot weren't angry with him." While the boy's father, who arrived from Florence where he has lived for some years, asks for justice. “The culprit must pay,” said Eduard at the scene of the murder. «What was my son doing there at three in the morning? It's not normal," he added.
«He was a good boy, he loved boxing. In December he came with me on holiday to Romania, he seemed calm. I last heard from him two days ago. We spoke almost every day, even with my other youngest daughter. I don't understand what could have happened."
