(ANSA) - Bari, May 17 - A 17-year-old who was detained along
with a friend over the case of Giuseppe Dibello, a 77-year-old
who died at Monopoli, near Bari, on Tuesday after being pushed
onto seaside rocks, admitted to pushing the victim and another
elder person before a preliminary investigations judge Friday,
sources said.
The 17-year-old's defence lawyer requested that he be
released from custody and put under house arrest.
He and his 15-year-old friend told the judge that they did it
for a prank, not a robbery, sources said.
"It was a stupid joke," the minors told the judge, according
to sources.
