Chiara Jaconis death investigation reopened two years after Prada manager killed by statue
Key Points:
- The investigation into Prada manager Chiara Jaconis's death has been reopened two years after she was allegedly killed by a 13-year-old boy who threw a statue off a balcony in Naples, Italy.
- Jaconis, 30, died from head injuries sustained when struck by one of two statuettes that fell from a third-floor balcony, but investigators have yet to determine which statue caused her fatal injury.
- Italian Juvenile Court judges have ordered a ballistics assessment to identify the specific statuette involved, as no one has been convicted of her death; the boy who threw the object cannot be held criminally responsible due to his age under Italian law.
- The boy's parents face manslaughter charges for failing to supervise him and not securing the balcony, despite knowing his history of throwing objects from heights; they deny any wrongdoing.
- Jaconis, who managed 15 Prada stores across France, Monaco, and Belgium, was celebrating her 30th birthday in Naples when the incident occurred, and her mother continues to seek justice for her daughter.
