Murder Serena Mollicone, pm: “ Tuzi committed suicide because he knew and was left alone ”

(from the correspondent Giorgia Sodaro) “Santino Tuzi committed suicide because he was left alone by all those who knew the truth” but also because “he knew”. The prosecutor Beatrice Siravo said this during the indictment of the trial for the murder of Serena Mollicone, the young woman from Arce killed in 2001, speaking of the police sergeant who committed suicide in 2008. The indictment of the prosecutor, which began last Friday, has resumed this morning before the Court of Assizes of the Court of Cassino. In the trial, which has reached its final stages, the Carabinieri Marshal Franco Mottola, his wife Anna Maria and his son Marco are accused of murder and body concealment. Marshal Vincenzo Quatrale is accused of external concurrence in the murder and instigation to suicide of Brigadier Santino Tuzi. Finally, the officer Francesco Suprano is accused of aiding and abetting. ” Why did Santino Tuzi commit suicide? ” Asked the prosecutor. ” If Santino had not committed suicide, since no one confirmed his statements, he would have gone to trial for the murder as happened to Carmine Belli ”, she claimed. ” I would like to rehabilitate Santino’s image – he concluded – He was the only one who broke the wall of silence and paid for his statements with his life ”. Citing the super expertise that led to the reopening of the case and the subsequent trial, the one signed by Cristina Cattaneo, coroner who heads the Laboratory of Forensic Anthropology and Odontology of the University of Milan, the prosecutor claimed that Serena would have received the blow to the head against the door of the barracks around 11.30 and would have died after 5 hours of agony. ” Serena had a blow to the head and survived, she had suffered an important but not lethal trauma – said Beatrice Siravo – she could have been saved but she was suffocated with an adhesive tape that wrapped her mouth and it’s been over. ”
