A minor is under investigation for instigation and aid to suicide in relation to the death of MLM, the 26-year-old found with a gunshot to the head on a beach in Porto Empedocle, in the province of Agrigento, on 25 August. The 16-year-old was placed in a community, the measure was carried out by the Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Caltanissetta, and was also denounced for detention and electronic disclosure of child pornography material.

According to the accusation, the very young man would have assisted and supported his friend in preparing and carrying out the suicide. But not only that: he would also provide advice to prevent people closest to him from realizing his project.

The 26-year-old shop assistant aspired to be a policeman. The week before killing himself he had gone to Rome to take the admission contest. It would have been his last attempt to reach the age limit, but he had been judged unsuitable and had returned to Sicily. Excluding the possibility of an appeal, he had developed the idea of taking his own life, a victim of disappointment and frustration.

Numerous and detailed messages were exchanged with the minor in which the realization of the tragic event was planned, choosing the day, place and firearm to use, legally detained by the victim.
