“Today I realize that I will never see my son once more.” Madeleine, the mother of Luca, the young TikTokeur killed on February 2 by his ex-father-in-law, in Jupille (Liège), confides in our colleagues at Sudinfo for the first time. “We had a terrible fusional relationship, we were one”, she explains.
Luca’s dream was to become an actor
Luca had 1.6 million subscribers on the TikTok social network and totaled almost 36 million likes with his videos. Luca’s dream was to become an actor, says his mother. “TikTok was just a step for him.” He had gone to castings, done extras and had even made a short film.
“He had been harassing me for over a month”
The ex-companion of Luca’s mother might not support the separation dating from October 2021, following nine years of relationship. “He had been harassing me for over a month,” says Madeleine.
On February 2, Pietro went to the home of his ex-girlfriend. He strangled her, but Madeleine regained consciousness and fled to take refuge at her mother’s house nearby. Worried, Luca arrived on the spot, before coming face to face with his mother’s ex-companion. An altercation broke out, resulting in the death of Luca, victim of five stab wounds.
Charged with homicide on Luca and attempted murder on Madeleine, Pietro (30, from Grace-Hollogne) will appear in early April before the Liège council chamber which will decide whether or not to keep him in preventive detention. He said he acted in self-defense. According to him, it was Luca who was armed with a knife.
