Her screams and desperate attempts to defend herself and free herself weren't enough: the punches to her face became stronger, as did the grip around her neck, which tightened ever tighter, until she was strangled.
Zoe Trinchero, the seventeen-year-old from Nizza Monferrato found dead in a small stream , died this way, killed by Alex Manna , not yet twenty. In the initial reconstruction by the Carabinieri and the public prosecutor, some elements are already clear: the fury was unleashed after the girl rejected his advances . Furthermore, Manna accused another young man, a North African, of the femicide, who risked lynching for it. According to investigators, the 19-year-old was the last to see the victim, with whom he had no romantic relationship and had not previously had one .
From the first hours of the investigation, the Carabinieri detected clear inconsistencies in the boy's statements . He was questioned at the police station in the presence of a lawyer and the prosecutor Giacomo Ferrando of the Alessandria prosecutor's office, who is coordinating the investigation . Investigators therefore initiated a series of investigations, which led to his arrest.
