That little girl, born premature between the 32nd and 34th week of pregnancy, just needed care. Ever since she was still in the womb. For six days however, the mother, the maternal grandparents and the mother's sister, who all lived in the same house in Burgos, did not seek help from specialists. Neither before nor after childbirth.
According to what was reconstructed by the Nuoro prosecutors, the mother of the child did not carry out any medical examinations during pregnancy that could have allowed her to identify the risks of early birth. Nor did she ask for assistance after the home birth.
Doctors were called only when it was already too late, so little Giulia died of starvation, due to respiratory stress with ulcers and inflammation of the navel.
The story, which took place on June 17 , shook the entire town, horrified and dismayed in the face of the tragedy. Now the prosecutor has closed the investigation and charged four suspects with the crime of abandonment of a minor from which the death resulted. Alternatively, as a hypothesis of a crime, there is also the omission of aid.
The four suspects are the mother Maria Giovanna Piredda, 29 years old, maternal grandmother and grandfather, Maria Giuseppa Urrazza and Francesco Piredda, and aunt, Rosa Piredda.
