With a 40-caliber Beretta pistol he exploded 11 shots against the Fiat Panda on board of which were Giuseppe Fusella and Tullio Pagliaro, two young people who were parked in the car and whom he would have mistaken for criminals.
Now Vincenzo Palumbo, the man who pulled the trigger in front of his home in Herculaneum, has been arrested on charges of double murder. The Naples Public Prosecutor's Office made it known in a statement, which explains that five ogives reached the car with the two boys on board - Giuseppe Fusella of 26 and Tullio Pagliaro of 27 - while he was driving away.
The two young men were shot in the head after the bullets pierced the body of the car. The images of the video surveillance systems acquired by the investigators confirmed that the shots were fired while the car was moving away from Palumbo's home.
Also according to what was reported by the investigators, the two boys were not found in possession of firearms or any other kind. In the car there were no "burglary" tools and not even clothes to distort the face and make them unrecognizable.
In short, nothing would suggest that the victims intended to commit crimes.
"The results of the investigations delegated to the Carabinieri of the Compagnia di Torre del Greco contradict the state's defense thesis", underlines the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office. "The dynamics of the facts - continues the Prosecutor's Office - for the number, sequence and direction of the shots fired, as reconstructed, appears to reveal a conduct intentionally and without justification aimed at causing the death of the two young people".
