The carabinieri of Caccamo seized part of the gym abandoned which is located near the sports field of the country subject to the inspection ordered as part of the investigation into the death of 17-year-old Roberta Siragusa.
The girl was murdered on Saturday night. Investigators suspect that the victim’s body, before being left at the bottom of the cliff where it was found, was taken in the building which is undergoing renovation. Perhaps right there the killer, alone or with the help of accomplices, as investigators suspect, would have set fire to the body before moving it.
The military, who for the crime and the concealment of the body stopped the boyfriend of Roberta, Pietro Morreale, they also took soil samples for analysis.
In recent days, the military has gone to search Pietro Morreale’s home several times. Pietro’s car was impounded. The validation hearing is now expected tomorrow at 10.30
“Who knows how to speak, who is aware of details, even apparently insignificant, contact the carabinieri”: the parents of Roberta Siragusa, the 17 year old murdered Saturday night in the countryside of Caccamo, launch an appeal.
Any information can help the carabinieri to reconstruct the missing pieces of a mystery that now seems substantially resolved and that sees the young victim’s boyfriend, Pietro Morreale, the culprit of the crime. “Even apparently irrelevant circumstances could prove to be important for the achievement of the only common goal, the truth”, Roberta’s parents and brother say through their lawyers, inviting the media to “respect Roberta’s person, her dignity and your right to privacy “.
A hearing has been set for tomorrow morning to validate the arrest of Morreale, who has been in his cell since yesterday on charges of voluntary homicide and concealment of a body. According to investigators, after a quarrel with his girlfriend, he strangled her and then disposed of her body by trying to burn it and throwing it into a ravine in the countryside of Caccamo. Then he would go home, he would reveal what happened to his parents and go to the barracks with his father.
It was Pietro who brought the investigators to the place where Roberta’s body was on Sunday morning. To the military the boy would have told a very different story, speaking of his girlfriend’s suicide after an argument. Roberta would set herself on fire with gasoline that was in a bottle stored in the car. Desperate, the boyfriend would try to help her, then he would go away in shock.
Version denied by a video that sees Morreale’s car going up and down from the place where the body was found 4 times around two in the morning. And always the video surveillance images of the country would have taken Morreale’s car near the sports field where the couples often seclude themselves. According to the investigators, the murder took place in that place, perhaps after the girl’s refusal to have sexual intercourse with her boyfriend.
“I knew something bad was going to happen, I told Roberta to leave him, but she was afraid because he had threatened to hurt her and her family,” said a friend of the victim. One of the many witnesses to a relationship full of tension, violence and jealousy scenes. And just last night Roberta’s friends and schoolmates wanted to remember her with a candle in front of the balconies and windows of their homes.
