Five Suspects Trade Blame in Milan Student Stabbing Interrogations

Prosecutors cite surveillance footage plus recorded boasts described in filings as near confessions.

Overview

  • The two 18-year-olds and three 17-year-olds were questioned on November 21 at San Vittore and the Beccaria juvenile facility over the October 12 assault-robbery near corso Como.
  • One adult, identified in filings as the stabber, told the judge he “didn’t see straight,” said he carried a knife after a past attack, and claimed he joined after the fight was underway.
  • The other adult cast himself as a lookout who thought it was only a scuffle, intends to send an apology letter, and through his lawyer requested house arrest.
  • Investigators emphasize CCTV and ambient interceptions that capture boasts, mockery about the victim being paralyzed, and talk of striking again, supporting charges of attempted murder and robbery.
  • Magistrates will decide in the coming days on bids to ease pretrial custody, while the 22-year-old victim remains severely injured with permanent lung and spinal damage.
