Overview

  • The woman and her six-month-old daughter found dead in Rome’s Villa Pamphili have been identified as U.S. citizens and investigators have issued an international alert for the American suspect believed to have fled abroad.
  • Forensic examinations show the infant died of strangulation and malnutrition while the mother’s cause of death remains undetermined pending toxicology and histological results.
  • Testimony from a municipal gardener and CCTV footage of a distinctive humanitarian tent helped link the pair to the park and yielded records that led to the suspect’s identity.
  • In Pavia, prosecutors have collected 58 fingerprints and other items seized from the 2007 crime scene for a preliminary incident hearing in the Chiara Poggi murder reopening.
  • The Garlasco investigation now explores a theory of two assailants and multiple weapons, with Andrea Sempio formally under inquiry alongside Alberto Stasi as 3D reconstructions of the scene commence.
