It was apparently a domestic accident caused by two children that caused the statuette to fall from the balcony that killed Chiara Jaconis while she was walking through the Spanish quarters of Naples.
This is what investigators have reconstructed in the last few hours, having examined the footage from the surveillance cameras of a bed & breakfast in the area.
Jaconis, 30, died yesterday, Tuesday, September 17, in the intensive care unit of the Ospedale del Mare in Naples. The young woman, originally from Padua but resident for work in Paris, was in Naples for a pleasure trip.
On Sunday, September 15, while he was walking down the street, a statuette in the shape of an elephant containing a bottle of perfume fell on his head.
According to what has emerged, two minors caused the object to fall. The Neapolitan newspaper The Morning reports that the two would have handled the statue on the balcony of their house: overlooking the street, they would have lost control of the artefact, perhaps due to its weight.
The statuette fell from a height of about 15 meters. After hitting the railing of a balcony on the floor below, a section of the perfume diffuser broke off and hit Chiara Jaconis.
The Naples Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into manslaughter and the adults who were supposed to be supervising the two children could end up being registered as suspects.
