The custody hearing for Bryan José Vera Siguenza, arrested for the murder of his brother-in-law Jefferson Gabriel Garcia Jimenez, has been scheduled for tomorrow before Judge Alberto Carboni in Milan. Carabinieri apprehended Vera Siguenza overnight Saturday into Sunday.
Assisted by lawyer Campanello, the 32-year-old suspect told authorities he stabbed the victim to defend his sister from alleged mistreatment. However, investigators currently report finding no evidence supporting this claim.
Preliminary findings from the investigation, coordinated by duty prosecutor Letizia Mocciaro, indicate the fatal attack occurred during a party involving alcohol and drugs. The precise motive remains under investigation.
