Aurora, the 13-year-old who died after falling from her building in Piacenza: her boyfriend arrested.
Piacenza is shocked by the tragic death of Aurora, a 13-year-old girl who died on Friday, October 25, after falling from the building where she lived. Following the accident, the Carabinieri arrested Aurora's boyfriend, a 15-year-old boy already under investigation for voluntary homicide. Under the direction of the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office of Bologna, the young man was placed in pre-trial detention in a juvenile prison; the arrest will have to be validated by a judge in the next few hours.
The investigations and the autopsy on the young woman's body
At the same time, the Prosecutor's Office ordered an autopsy to clarify the causes of the fall. The examination, entrusted to the coroner Giovanni Cecchetto, was carried out in Pavia and conducted in the presence of the parties involved. The public prosecutor Simone Purgato instructed the family's consultant, the coroner Novella D'Agostini, to accompany the verification process, which could also require further toxicological and genetic tests.
During the investigation it emerged that a few days before the accident, Aurora had reported her boyfriend's obsessive and possessive behavior to social services, but without formalizing a complaint. According to lawyer Lorenza Dordoni, Aurora had confided in the discomfort caused by her boyfriend's behavior, but the report had not been transformed into a formal act.
The day of the tragedy and the statements of the relatives
On Friday morning, Aurora was supposed to reach school at 8:55. Her mother was at home but did not see the boy, which led to speculation that the boy may have waited for her outside, in an unseen place, such as in the stairwell or in the building's lobby. The family cannot accept the idea of an accident or suicide: Aurora, in fact, was a happy girl and even planned to celebrate her 14th birthday with a family vacation, scheduled for the following days. "She had never shown signs of discomfort or desperation," said her mother, who emphasized that the young girl looked to the future with optimism and determination.
Aurora's family's intervention in the investigation
To shed light on the circumstances of Aurora's death, her family has stated that they will provide the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office with a detailed report. This documentation will include testimonies and chat conversations by Aurora, which would reveal a picture of strong possessiveness and jealousy on the part of her boyfriend. This gesture by the family demonstrates their desire for justice and clarity regarding the tragedy that struck them.
Boyfriend in shock: statements from the young man's family
After being arrested, the 15-year-old appeared shocked and distraught over what had happened. The family told the media that the boy, deeply affected by grief, declared during questioning that he was innocent, claiming that Aurora, while she was on the balcony with him, fell on her own. It was the boy himself who asked for help from the neighbors, who then alerted the emergency services.
The community's reaction and the words of the mayor of Piacenza
The tragic event has deeply affected the Piacenza community. The mayor of Piacenza, Katia Tarasconi, expressed the condolences of the entire city, expressing closeness and solidarity to Aurora's family, and asked for respect for their suffering and privacy, considering the sensitivity of the investigations still underway. "A silence full of respect and sincere closeness to Aurora's family is the only statement possible at the moment," declared the mayor, drawing attention to the importance of maintaining a respectful attitude and away from morbid speculation.
This story leaves open questions about Aurora's young life, cut short in circumstances that are still unclear at the moment. The autopsy results and further investigations will tell us more, while an entire community awaits justice for little Aurora, gathered around her family in grief.
