The Rome Police Headquarters has released images reconstructing the tattoos on the body of the woman found dead on Saturday afternoon inside Villa Pamphili in Rome, about two hundred meters from the body of a baby girl of a few months, probably her daughter.
In particular, these include a rose on the right foot near the ankle, a floral design with a star on the abdominal band, and a surfboard with a skull on the right arm.
The police are appealing to anyone who has any useful information for identification to contact Nue 112. The woman was presumably between 20 and 30 years old, with light hair, about 1 meter and 64 centimeters tall and weighed about 58 kilos. It is not excluded, it is added, that she was accompanied by the child who was between six months and one year old.
In the meantime, it is known that the little girl was most likely strangled the evening before her body was found a short distance from a hedge in the capital's large green park. This is the dramatic hypothesis formulated by investigators who are looking into the death of the six-month-old baby and her alleged mother. The very first results of the autopsy, carried out on Sunday evening at the Institute of Legal Medicine of the Catholic University, reveal death by suffocation.
On the body of the very young victim, signs were found that support the theory of aggravated homicide: a violent act carried out in all likelihood by someone who knew the woman and the little girl or had come into contact with them. Pieces of truth in a story in which there are still many points to be clarified. First of all: the identity of the victims. The DNA samples, taken at the same time as the autopsy, were sent to the Scientific laboratories, which will have to compare the genetic profiles with the databases, in the hope of obtaining results. A fundamental step in trying to trace the identity, also in light of the fact that the fingerprint test performed on the woman did not produce any results: her fingerprints are not in the police database. This element leads to the hypothesis that the woman and the little girl are foreigners, perhaps from Scandinavia or Eastern Europe. The investigators do not exclude that the little girl could have been born abroad and that the couple had recently been in Italy.
According to what has been ascertained so far, the forty-year-old and the child lived inside the park, using makeshift beds to spend the night. The mother may have come into contact with that 'community' of homeless people, an invisible people, who sleep in the park, in a context marked by degradation and the use of narcotics. On Monday, investigators returned to the park to look for any useful elements. No signs of violence, no stab wounds or traces of aggression were found on the woman's body . For this reason, toxicological samples could provide answers on the possibility of an overdose as the cause of death.
According to investigators, the woman's body, in an advanced state of decomposition, had been in the same place where it was found for several days: naked, covered only by a black sack. Investigators have heard from a number of witnesses, but the statements collected have often been discordant and, in many cases, denied by the investigations of the Rome police headquarters. The leaders of the flying squad attended a meeting in Piazzale Clodio to take stock of the investigations. Some rumors, collected inside the villa, speak of a man seen running with a bundle in his arms in the hours before the child was found. The checks, however, have not yielded any concrete evidence. And no useful element has emerged from the analysis of the cameras present in the area of Via Olimpica, which is only a few meters from the place of the double discovery, nor from those installed in Via Aurelia Antica. The internal area of the villa, in fact, is not covered by video surveillance systems.
