Carmelo Cinturrino, a police officer, has been ordered to remain in custody while facing serious charges of voluntary manslaughter concerning the death of Abderrahim Mansouri in Rogoredo. The judge, Domenico Santoro from Milan, decided against validating Cinturrino's arrest but upheld the precautionary measure of keeping him in jail due to the gravity of the accusations. This decision underscores the legal system's interest in ensuring that justice is pursued carefully in cases involving law enforcement personnel.

A crucial witness to the incident, Ullah Q.M., provided compelling testimony, stating that Mansouri, known as Zack, was unarmed during the encounter. According to the witness, Zack picked up a stone in an attempt to scare Cinturrino, who is also referred to as Luca, but did not throw it. Facing Cinturrino, Zack fled into the woods after the police officer brandished his weapon. The situation escalated as Cinturrino shot Zack while he was attempting to escape, indicating that the fatal encounter took place under rather tense circumstances.

The judge's reconstruction of events highlights that Mansouri was shot in the back of the head while trying to flee, a detail that raises serious questions about the applicability of self-defense measures and the appropriate use of force by police. The details provided by the witness, alongside the legal proceedings, will likely play a critical role in the ensuing legal battle and public discussions about police conduct, accountability, and community safety in Italy.
