(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 2 - The grandparents of a 17-year-old boy
who has confessed to killing his father, mother and 12-year-old
brother near Milan at the weekend feel "compassion" for him and
the family is "rallying around him", investigative sources said
Monday.
The grandparents of the boy who allegedly slaughtered his family
at Paderno Dugnano, in the Milan area, on the night between
Saturday and Sunday, have expressed "great sorrow and compassion
for him," the sources said.
They are also reportedly willing to meet him, although this will
not be possible before a hearing to validate his arrest warrant.
The investigators explained at a press conference that "the
family is rallying around him" and clarified that the boy, after
his first version of events blaming his father, decided to
confess after talking to "family members and his lawyer".
