The younger of the two minors detained
by Carabinieri over the case of Giuseppe Dibello, a 77-year-old
who died at Monopoli, near Bari, on Tuesday after being pushed
onto seaside rocks, blamed his older friend for the crime in a
private conversation, sources said Thursday. Neither of the
pair, aged 15 and 17, has confessed to prosecutors, but, in
recordings of conversations made through listening devices at
the Carabinieri barracks, they effectively admit to being on the
scene and to pushing Dibello and another elderly man. It had
initially been suspected that Dibello had been pushed onto the
rocks during a robbery, but it was later established that the
pair of teenagers did it as a prank.
