A16-year-old boy who was arrested last week on charges of attempted murder for attacking an entrepreneur with a baseball bat in the Brianza town of Zesano Maderno told investigators the victim wasn't his objective and anyone could have been in his place, sources close to the probe said Tuesday. "Anyone else could have been in his place, it would have been the same, he wasn't my target", said the teen, according to the sources. "I don't know why I did it", he also told investigators. The teen attacked the 60-year-old businessman, a neighbour, hitting him in the head 19 times with his bat until it broke, according to investigative sources. The man was hospitalized at the San Gerardo Hospital in Monza in critical condition. The teen's family called Carabinieri police after they saw traces of blood on his clothes. The 16-year-old was arrested last Wednesday on attempted murder charges for the attack, which took place the previous day. The boy, who has not got a history of psychiatric issues, was taken to Milan's Beccaria juvenile prison. Source: Ansa News Agency
