The arrest for Alessia Pifferi, the 37-year-old woman who for more than six days left her daughter Diana, aged one and a half, alone at home, has been validated, causing her to die of starvation .
The investigating judge of Milan Fabrizio Filice has ordered custody in prison for voluntary homicide in the omissive form, aggravated by futile reasons .
The judge therefore excluded the aggravating circumstance of the premeditation contested by the Prosecutor's office and qualified the voluntary homicide in the hypothesis of omission.
The woman had left the little girl alone at home to stay with her current partner, who lives in the Bergamo area: she had told him that the little girl was at the sea with her sister. " I was unaware of everything ," said the man questioned by the investigators.
The woman, however, questioned by the investigating judge, justified her behavior in this way: “ I was counting on the possibility of having a future with my partner , and that's exactly what I was trying to understand in those days. This is why I considered it crucial not to interrupt those days when I was with him, even when I was afraid that the child could be very ill or die ".
"After the third day - he continued - I was not calm, but perhaps the fatigue that I carried inside prevailed, because I am a single mother, it is not easy , no one helped me and it was very heavy". The woman explained that she supported herself "with the help of my mother who sent me money every month, then I activated the bonuses I was entitled to".
The prosecutor Francesco De Tommasi defined her as a "dangerous" person and " capable of committing atrocities ", who had no "scruples", to have fun and carry on her relationships, to leave alone at home for "almost seven days" little Diana.
The woman, however, writes the investigating judge in the ordinance, did not limit herself to predicting and accepting "the risk" that the little girl would die but, "while not pursuing it as her final goal, alternatively" she wanted it , as also resulted from various statements from his interrogation, including, as summarized by the investigating judge of Milan Fabrizio Filice, also references to "fear" and "pride in not asking his sister for help". Sister who could "at any time go to her apartment to help her daughter" .
