She left her sixteen-month-old daughter alone at home for six days , from Thursday of last week until yesterday morning.
When she returned, she obviously found her dead.
It happens in Milan in the Mecenate area and the 37-year-old woman was arrested on charges of voluntary homicide aggravated by futile motives and premeditation.
The little girl was in a camping cot, next to her the bottle and a half-filled bottle of benzodiazepines .
" I knew it could go like this ", is what the woman essentially said, appeared lucid in front of the investigators, even if she remained silent in front of some questions. She said she washed and changed the baby and left her where she was found lifeless, with a bottle of milk beside her, to go to Leffe (Bergamo) and join her current partner, who is not the baby's father. .
In recent days she has also passed by Milan to accompany her boyfriend to some business appointments, but without going home to her daughter . She told the man that the girl was at the sea with her sister.
Apparently the woman would have left her daughter alone at other times , especially on weekends. The alarm was raised by a neighbor to whom the child's mother turned and asked to call for help.
The prosecutor, who tomorrow will send to the investigating judge the request for validation of the arrest and pre-trial detention in prison, ordered the autopsy and seized the apartment. The fear, since none of the neighbors heard the baby cry even as she was without food and water, is that she was asleep with tranquilizers .
