Overview
- The Procura di Napoli Nord has formally closed its investigation into the 2025 killing of 14-year-old Martina Carbonaro in Afragola.
- Prosecutors removed the 'cruelty' aggravating circumstance after a forensic assessment excluded accanimento unrelated to the act of killing.
- Alessio Tucci, 19, remains accused of voluntary murder with aggravations for abject and trivial motives, the victim’s minor age, the prior relationship, and use of an isolated location that impeded her defense.
- The defense may request a new interrogation or submit a memorandum within 20 days, after which prosecutors can seek an indictment.
- Investigative findings describe the victim being lured to an abandoned site, struck with a stone, concealed under debris, and found about two days later, with the suspect initially joining searches as the family highlights safety failures at the site.
