The policeman arrested last Thursday on suspicion of road murder remains in prison for the accident that took place in via Prenestina in which Simone Sperduti, a nineteen-year-old Roman boy, lost his life. After the hearing that was held this morning in Piazzale Clodio, the investigating judge, accepting the requests of the prosecutor Mario Palazzi, validated the arrest and issued a precautionary custody order in prison. The policeman had tested positive for alcohol and drug tests after the accident.
“My client answered the judge’s questions and expressed all his pain to Simone’s family – said the policeman’s defender, the lawyer Pamela Strippoli after the validation hearing – he is aware of the responsibility that he will carry for life. In the reconstruction of the accident he reported that he had not noticed the arrival of the boy’s scooter “. During the hearing, the policeman also delivered a letter to the judge.
“I would kneel at your feet to ask your forgiveness. I’m afraid, I know you have more than me. I was wrong, hell I was wrong. I would have liked to die – the policeman writes in the letter – I had to die. I ask your forgiveness. Nothing will give you back your son, but I will do whatever can help you. I ask your forgiveness, and to God. I should have died. My heart is in pieces, but I know it’s nothing compared to what you are feeling. Hating me is the least “.
