(ANSA) - TURIN, 15 JAN - "I used to play with Fatima on the balcony.
I threw her in the air and took her back, with her mother watching from below. I don't know how it could have happened ...". This was said to the investigating magistrate Agostino Pasquariello, during the guarantee interrogation, Mohssine Azhar, the 32-year-old arrested for the death of the three-year-old girl who fell from a building in the center of Turin. The man, assisted by the lawyer Alessandro Sena, admitted that he had drunk a few glasses and had taken hashish, but reiterated that he "did not have persolucidity", until he realized that the girl had fallen.
The little girl would have reached her stepfather's house by herself, which is located above the one where she lived with her mother, wearing her pajamas and non-slip socks on her feet.
The man, who was drinking with some friends, would have picked her up and went to the balcony to greet Mum Lucia, downstairs on the balcony.
Then that tragic game, in front of the gaze of the mother.
The prosecutor Valentina Sellaroli asked for the validation of the stop for voluntary murder with possible fraud and the precautionary measure.
Mohssine's defender, Alessandro Sena, asked to change the crime hypothesis into manslaughter and therefore the non-validation of the arrest and no precautionary measures, as there is no danger of escape.
The investigating judge reserved the right to decide.
