(ANSA) - Messina, December 3 - Sicily police on Thursday
arrested a teen and a young woman in connection with the drug
death of 16-year-old Ilaria Boemi.
A suspect named as Gaia Auteri, 18, and an underage girl are
accused of causing Boemi's death by selling her bad ecstasy,
while a third underage girl who is not under arrest has been
accused of drug dealing.
Boemi, a student at the Ernesto Basile Art Institute in
Messina, was found dead on the city's Lungomare Ringo beach on
August 10.
Police say Boemi bought the ecstasy in the village of St.
Agata in the company of another 16-year-old girl and a
39-year-old man.
After taking the drugs they went to the beach, where the
man tried to have sex with both teens while Boemi was already
feeling ill.
Boemi went into convulsions, but her companions failed to
call for help and the man threw her phone into the sea.
He is under investigation for attempted rape and failure to
assist a person in distress.
