The lawyer representing a
16-year-old boy who allegedly killed his mother Nunzia Di
Gianni, 45, and stepfather Salvatore Vincelli, 59, on Thursday
denied that his client had acted in relation to bad grades
received at school.
"The motive is much more complex," said the lawyer, referring
instead to "adolescent problems that had not been properly
addressed by the parents or the boy himself, and also by
society".
The 16-year-old on Wednesday confessed to murdering his
parents with a pickaxe together with a friend, aged 17, at the
family home the day before.
The victims were found with head wounds and wrapped in
plastic bags.
The teens face aggravated murder charges because they
allegedly planned the killing.
It was reported that the relationship between the parents and
their son was very tense because of the teen's bad grades in
school.
