Overview
- Abanoub Youssef, 18, died after being stabbed inside the Einaudi‑Chiodo institute; classmate Zouhair Atif is in custody on a voluntary homicide accusation, with a judicial hearing expected Monday.
- The regional school office has ordered an inspection of the institute, and the school is set to reopen with psychological support teams for students.
- Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara said metal detectors should be considered only where verified security problems exist, pairing enforcement with a push on responsibility and respect for authority.
- The victim’s relatives met Valditara, demanded an immediate law to protect students, and said they do not accept apologies from the suspect’s family.
- The suspect’s girlfriend, a minor, posted that childhood photos exchanged with the victim preceded the attack, while separate youth stabbings including one in Sora have intensified the national focus on knife-carrying.
