Overview

• Vladyslav Malamen, 6, died in Padua after being struck on a zebra crossing in Santa Maria di Sala; the Venice prosecutor opened a case and plans to register the 25-year-old driver as a suspect.
• Prosecutors moved to forgo an autopsy to allow organ donation at the family’s request, while the car was seized and carabinieri continue to reconstruct the crash near a junction residents call dangerous.
• In Viterbo, a two-year-old hospitalized at Gemelli with head trauma is stable with a predicted 20‑day recovery; police sent their report to the prosecutor after not finding a child seat in the vehicle.
• Investigators in the Viterbo case are assessing whether child-restraint rules may have been breached, as accounts differ over a seat allegedly shared between families and portiere child locks are examined.
• In Ragusa’s Caucana, two-year-old Raffaele died after falling into an above‑ground pool at a holiday home; carabinieri are investigating under the deputy prosecutor, who will decide on an autopsy.
