Dad Unlocks Dead Son's Phone and Finds 'Mocking Video Left by Killer' - The Mirror

  • Michael Boschetto, 32, was fatally stabbed on April 27 of the previous year in the northeastern Italian town of Villafranca Padovana.
  • The attack allegedly involved Giacomo Friso, 34, Michael's childhood friend, who reportedly appeared erratic and had no clear motive according to detectives.
  • After the killing, Friso allegedly took Michael's phone and filmed a 30-second video of himself, making a mocking victory sign and a gesture implying responsibility for the murder.
  • Michael's father, Federico, unlocked the phone months later with his girlfriend’s help and stated the video contained details contradicting Friso's claim of self-defense and that Friso had no injuries.
  • The investigation has officially concluded, with the video expected to be included in the prosecution’s evidence, and Giacomo’s court hearing set for September 11, 2025.
