Mariano Cannio killed little Samuele in 2021
For the case of 4-year-old boy dropped from a balcony in Naples, the judges have established a sentence for the servant who would have voluntarily thrown him off the terrace of his house, while, apparently, he was at home alone with the child. Marianno Cannio will have to serve a sentence of 18 years in prison for taking the life of the child of only 4 years in such a bloody way.
Mariano Cannio he was the 39-year-old servant who worked in the house in via Foria in Naples, where Samuele lived with his family. Gup Nicoletta Campanaro, on Tuesday 27 September, issued the sentence after the trial which took place with an abbreviated procedure against the only person accused.
The GUP accepted the request for sentencing made by the prosecutor Barbara Aprea, who stressed that the 39-year-old servant, albeit suffering from various pathologies psychiatric, was at that moment capable of understanding and wanting. And of having voluntarily thrown Samuel down from the balcony with the intention of taking his life.
Maria Assunta Zotti, Mariano Cannio’s lawyer, said at the hearing on September 27 that his client was cleaning the child’s parents’ home that day. However, she does not exclude the thesis of the fatality in the child’s disappearance.
The lawyer, in fact, thinks that Samuel could be there sported from the balcony, after climbing onto something on the terrace. Although, in reality, Mariano Cannio has pleaded guilty: the lawyer thinks that his statements may not be reliable given his mental health conditions.
4-year-old boy dropped from a balcony in Naples: Samuele was alone with the servant in the house
As the child’s mother also told, assisted together with the rest of the family by the lawyer Domenico De Rosa, that day Samuele was alone at home with the 39-year-old servant. For this reason, the investigations focused on a single suspect.
Already in 2021 the accused had partially admitted his faults:
Suddenly I took him in my arms and went out from the balcony. Arriving outside with the baby in my arms, I leaned over and dropped the baby. I immediately heard screams and got scared, aware that I was the cause of what was happening.
