Tuesday 13 June 2023. When Padua celebrates its big celebration Saint Anthonyto Spanish Quarter in Naples there was a mother who was upset and sent a voice message to her son’s nanny. He explained to her that he lived in constant worry that the boy, who was clearly troubled, might throw something off the balcony as he had done several times in the past. Five days later the same mother sent a new audio on WhatsApp saying that the boy had just thrown the tablet from the room. But one more thing. The babysitter said she was just as worried because she knew he could hurt someone.
A year and three months later, that omen came true in the most tragic way. On September 15, 2024, Chiara Jaconis was passing by in a Naples alley. She was 30 years old, from Padua and the daughter of one of the most famous condominium administrators in the city. She had realized her dream of working in Paris for Prada and was on holiday with her boyfriend when she was hit in the head by a statue. He fell into a coma and died after two days in hospital.
What has happened? The reconstruction of the fact has been known for some time: two ancient Egyptian-inspired onyx statues, weighing a total of 10 kilograms, were thrown into the street by a troubled thirteen-year-old boy. One of the two statues hits Chiara.
However, now all the details of the investigation carried out by the company have been revealed Naples Prosecutor’s Office for Minors, stated in the non-proceeding application signed last April by deputy prosecutor Nicola Ciccarelltowards the little boy.
ACTION
Twenty-four pages and – according to the juvenile judge’s thesis – seven clues providing evidence. The request contained the statements of twelve neighbors and family servants of a thirteen year old child, statements of doctors who had been following the boy, the discovery of the remains of discarded objects, an inspection of the family’s apartment. And again: the fact that her parents immediately lowered the shutters, the first indication of Chiara’s boyfriend immediately understanding the origin of the object that the thirty-year-old hit.
The documents also report an exchange of messages between the thirteen-year-old’s mother and his nanny. The woman’s knowledge of her son’s behavior, which was also known to most of the building, emerged without too many contradictions from the page signed by the prosecutor for the minor.

TWO INVESTIGATIONS
Prosecutors from the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office have requested that the child be indisputable, considering that he is under 14 years old. The investigative judge’s decision is expected to come out on December 18. On the other hand, his brother is over 14 years old and therefore could have been taken to court but his case has been archived.
However, in the meantime, the ordinary prosecutor’s office is also functioning. The parents are being investigated for collaboration in the murder for failing to maintain proper precautions: they did not strengthen the lock to prevent access to the balcony, or prevent the boy from holding a sufficiently heavy object. Notification of the investigation’s conclusion was delivered in recent days.
