Judges in Bologna's juvenile
court on Friday reserved their decision in an initial hearing to
confirm custody of a 16-year-old and 17-year-old who both
confessed to the killing of the younger teen's mother and father
with an ax on Monday night.
The prosecutor requested custody in detention for both of the
teens currently being held in a juvenile detention pre-admission
centre for the murder of Salvatore Vincelli, 59, and his wife,
Nunzia Di Gianni, 45, who were killed in their home in
Pontelangorino, in the province of Ferrara on Italy's northeast
coast.
"We're waiting to see what's going to happen," said the
17-year-old's defence attorney Lorenzo Alberti.
"The boy is in shock, he's beginning to realize what has
happened," Alberti said.
Police said the 17-year-old carried out the killing for the
16-year-old, who offered him 1,000 euros to kill his parents,
and gave him 80 euros in advance.
The 17-year-old's parents met briefly with him at the
juvenile court.
"He made a mistake, he feels remorse," the parents said.
"We won't abandon him".
