Boy not criminally responsible for throwing statuette that killed Chiara Jaconis in Naples

A 13-year-old boy, deemed not criminally responsible due to his age, threw a statuette that killed Chiara Jaconis. The incident was partially captured on surveillance video. The statuette, weighing 10 kilograms, fell from a balcony in Naples on September 15, 2024, striking Jaconis. Investigators found similar objects at the boy's family home, and a fragment was discovered on the balcony below their apartment. The boy's mother had previously expressed concern to a babysitter about her son throwing items from the balcony. While the boy is not being prosecuted, his parents are under investigation for negligent homicide.
