Mariel Verna, the mother of the young man murdered by his grandfather, shared her heartbreaking story in an interview. The conviction of Brian's grandfather represents a step towards truth and healing for Mariel and her family. Emphatically, Mariel stated that the murder was premeditated, detailing that her son went to reclaim something and that the attack was planned.
Speaking of the loss of her son, Mariel could not hold back tears as she expressed: 'My son rests in peace, but I do not have my son.' In recent hours, it was confirmed that Brian's grandfather will be sentenced, as the justice system determined that he did not act in self-defense.
During the interview, Mariel described the difficult relationship between her son and his grandfather, revealing a family environment marked by violence. She shared that the grandfather used to hit Brian with an Army whip and that the young man was already facing mental health issues, exacerbated by the absence of his father.
Mariel pointed out that Brian was not under the influence of drugs at the time of the tragic event, despite her grandfather's allegations. The host of the program expressed her solidarity with Mariel and the importance of justice being served in cases of domestic violence.
In a moment of high emotion, Sandra Borghi decided to end the interview to allow Mariel to stabilize emotionally, emphasizing the sensitivity of the topic. It is worth remembering that Brian Verna was brutally murdered on June 13, 2022, by Domingo Faustino Verna, his grandfather, in an act of physical violence and shootings. During the interview, it was mentioned that Brian was also subject to emotional denigration, being constantly insulted by his grandfather.
