Overview
- Police executed a custody order issued by the Perugia preliminary investigations judge at the request of the prosecutor’s office, placing the suspect in jail on Friday night.
- Prosecutors say the 21-year-old is seriously suspected of multiple‑aggravated murder stemming from the October 18 brawl in the university parking lot on via Vanvitelli.
- Investigators report the suspect habitually carried a knife and allegedly tried to eliminate traces by discarding clothing from that night and handing over a different phone.
- Prosecutor Raffaele Cantone cites indirect accounts that the suspect admitted involvement to friends, with a local report saying he even showed a knife stained with the victim’s blood.
- The alleged murder weapon has not been recovered, and the detention order notes risks of further evidence tampering and flight as the investigation continues.
