She is accused of killing both newborns found in the garden of the villa in Traversetolo, in the province of Parma, born a year apart. Chiara Petrolini, 21, has been under house arrest since yesterday morning and will have to answer for voluntary homicide, aggravated by premeditation and family relationship, for the death of the second newborn. The young woman must also answer for the charge of suppression of a corpse for the first newborn (also the child of the same boyfriend) and of concealment for the other. The first of the two newborns still had the umbilical cord attached to the body and was in the fetal position. The second, however, was born alive and died from loss of blood. The baby was breathing, writes the Parma Public Prosecutor’s Office, led by Alfonso D’Avino, based on the first results of the autopsy. Death was caused by “haemorrhagic shock”: the umbilical cord had been cut, but left without “adequate mechanical constriction of the umbilical vessels” which caused bleeding”; Petrolini “had already decided that the baby would not survive birth, and the entire course of the pregnancy appears to be littered with clues that lead to this terrible reality”.

Starting from the total absence of any medical check-up during the pregnancy, a period during which the 21-year-old engaged in “incompatible behavior”, such as smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol. Among the searches carried out online, there was also one on “after how much does a corpse smell” which, for the magistrates, “ends up being the litmus test of the whole story, in the sense that it seems to demonstrate that Petrolini’s goal, in carrying on with the pregnancy, was only to suppress his own child”. It is the same searches that indicate once again, for the magistrates, that the young woman did everything on her own. The parents, as “persons under investigation, and therefore in the presence of their trusted lawyer”, were questioned by the investigators. The two had initially been investigated, so that forensic medical tests could be carried out, but the 21-year-old’s father and mother were found to be unaware of the facts.
To date, their position has been severed. On the morning of August 7, the young woman’s father had found numerous “traces of blood in the bathroom”, on two rugs, in the sink, on the tap and had given the rugs to his wife so they could be washed. Even when the 21-year-old spoke to her father, the man had shown “absolute lack of suspicion about the origin of said blood”, which the daughter had “attributed to a heavy cycle”. From the environmental interception of a conversation between mother and daughter, “the suspicion of a previous pregnancy emerged, linked to a previous hemorrhage”, at the first birth. There will be investigations into the personality of the 21-year-old, a girl “difficult to decipher”, said D’Avino, who, speaking with investigators, “cried”, but “I don’t know if she regretted it. There are behaviors that seem to go beyond the norms of normality.
