A 19-YEAR-OLD has been charged in Italy after allegedly killing his 14-year-old ex-girlfriend and attempting to hide her body.

The victim’s body was found hidden under debris in an abandoned building hours after she was reported as missing on Monday.

Alessio Tucci has been charged with aggravated homicide and concealment of a corpse following his arrest.

14-year-old Martina Carbonaro from Afragola, Naples, is reported to have agreed to meet her ex, despite not wanting to resume the relationship.

They met in a usual spot where they frequented when they were together, according to local media.

But her ex is then alleged to have hit her with a stone and killed her at the height of an argument, before attempting to hide her body.

The shocking attack is believed to have happened on the evening of May 26, and Martina’s disappearance was reported by her mother.

Her parents launched an appeal to help find her after she failed to return home.

The alleged murderer even joined the search to find her.

But Tucci was later arrested and is believed to have confessed to the crimes.

“I hit her with a rock… she didn’t want to get back together with me,” he told investigators, according to local media.

Martina’s parents said the teen would never leave home unannounced, and that the last contact they had with her was at around 8.30pm that night.

She had told her mother she would be back shortly, but no longer responded after this, the news agency ANSA has reported.

Her mother posted on Facebook: “My daughter, whoever hurt you will pay, fly high.”

She also said: “What sin did my daughter commit?

“She was as beautiful as the sun. Now I will return home and find her little room empty.”

Tucci is reported to have admitted he did it “after an initial hesitation”, according to Avvenire.

The 19-year-old is believed to have sought to rekindle the relationship, which had ended a few weeks earlier – but Martina did not want this.

He was detained by Carabinieri police on Tuesday, and is understood to be a construction worker.

Antonio Pannone, the Mayor of Afragola, stated: “We are profoundly shaken by the tragic and intolerable death of a 14-year-old, who was unfairly stripped of the chance to live.”

“It is an immense tragedy that shocks our community in the face of the barbarity of those who do not respect women’s freedom and dignity.

“On behalf of the City of Afragola, I offer Martina’s family my sincerest condolences and firmly believe that every effort will be made in the ongoing investigations to ensure that justice is served against the perpetrator of this heinous act.”

“I extend my gratitude to the Carabinieri, the State Police, the Fire Brigade, and the Municipal Police for their professionalism and prompt response, coordinated by the Prefecture and the judicial authority, all supported by our effective municipal video surveillance system.”
