"We wanted to show them who we were, that we certainly weren't afraid of them. I threw a stone too, many of us did. But mine wasn't the one that killed them."
These are the statements made to the police by Alessandro Barberini, one of the three Sebastiani basketball fans arrested in Rieti for the ambush on a bus carrying Pistoia basketball fans, which cost the life of one of the drivers, Raffaele Marianella, 65, last Sunday.
Today, along with the other two suspects in the voluntary manslaughter case— Manuel Fortuna and Kevin Pellecchia —the 53-year-old will appear before the investigating judge of the Rieti Court for a validation hearing. "I hit the middle of the bus; mine was a small stone," he reportedly added.
"If we had caught the driver, we would have committed a massacre," according to one of the 12 hooligans who allegedly took part in the attack on the Pistoia fans.
