Michelle Causo Killed, Convicted Man Releases Trap Album on Social Media

A year ago he was sentenced to 20 years for the femicide of Michelle Causo , in the days the boy in prison published a song in view of a trap music album. The minor of Sri Lankan origin, who stabbed the 17-year-old to death and abandoned her in a shopping cart in June 2023 in Primavalle (Rome), has composed songs that are already online. The first is called Scusa mamma: “È fatto tra le barre, u want that?” is the message that comes from the juvenile prison of Treviso. The femicide has 11,800 followers on his profile and on which a picture of him bare-chested with the nickname OlvRoff stands out. The album was uploaded to a second profile , then relaunched via stories.

Gianluca Causo, Michelle's father speaks to Il Messaggero: "He is making a success of my daughter's death. It is an affront to her memory and to our dignity. In the song he apologizes to her mother, never once to Michelle". And he adds: "I reported everything a year ago, but no one listened to me". According to him, the police are ignoring him: "They hang up on me, they tell me I'm hallucinating". The victim's family, through their lawyers, Claudia Di Brigida and Antonio Nebuloso, "represents that they want to proceed to ascertain all responsibility regarding the correct use of social media and communication tools by the defendant, a use that does not appear compatible with the rigor required by the sentence handed down nor with the principles of correct re-education".

In the note, regarding the alleged use of his social profile by the boy accused of the murder to launch an album, the lawyers specify: "The family also stigmatize the fact that the accused or third parties are exploiting the name of poor Michelle , possibly being able to obtain economic advantages through views or other and represent, finally, that the memory of Michelle and the awareness of the issue of gender violence in the world of minors are entrusted by the family to the book 'Femminicides youth without escape' by Virginia Ciaravolo, whose copyright is intended for charity purposes".

Meanwhile, politics is moving. "In recent days , a bill was tabled by the League that provides for the blackout of social media accounts belonging to those convicted or investigated for serious crimes, subjected to precautionary measures, including minors. The aim is to prevent those profiles from being used by third parties to glorify criminal conduct or offend the reputation of crime victims and their families. The law, which we have decided to rename the "Giogiò law", was born from a fruitful dialogue with Daniela Di Maggio, mother of Giovambattista Cutolo, who was also the victim of a brutal murder. As for the publication of some posts and a song on Instagram profiles attributable to the minor convicted in the first instance for the murder of Michelle Causo, we would like to point out that the Head of the Department of Juvenile Justice, Antonio Sangermano, is carrying out the necessary checks . Regardless of what may emerge, those who have suffered a crime cannot and must not become victims of hatred or violence on social media" declared, in a joint note, the Undersecretary of State for Justice, Andrea Ostellari and Senator Gianluca Cantalamessa, first signatory of the bill.
