Tattoo recognition, DNA tests and a dramatic international arrest bring authorities closer to solving the chilling double homicide in Rome.
A crime in the heart of Rome: the mystery of the nameless woman
Rome has been shaken by a grim discovery in Villa Pamphili, where the lifeless bodies of a woman in her 30s or 40s and her infant daughter were found. Without documents and with no immediate identification, the case seemed destined to remain a tragic mystery. But progress has been made: a witness helped police identify the woman, thanks to tattoos on her body.
Investigators had suspected from the beginning that the two were mother and daughter, and now DNA testing has confirmed it.
The autopsy: the mother died before the child
The autopsy revealed chilling details. The mother had been breastfeeding before her death, but the baby’s stomach was empty. This strongly indicates that the mother died first, and the child survived for several days without nourishment before dying.
It is suspected that the baby was strangled, while the mother’s body shows no obvious signs of violence.
Tattoo clues and an identification breakthrough
With no documents found, the police released photos of three tattoos on the woman’s body to the public, hoping someone would recognize them. That effort paid off. A person came forward, recognizing the tattoos, offering a lead that could reveal both her identity and the killer’s.
Suspect arrested in Greece
In a major development, Tg1 announced on its social channels that the suspected killer has been arrested on the Greek island of Skiathos. The man was located and detained in an operation that may mark the breakthrough investigators were waiting for.
The Rome police remain cautious: “We will communicate any updates when official.”
An investigation close to the truth
The main line of inquiry remains double homicide, but the motives are still unclear. Why were mother and daughter at Villa Pamphili? Why did no one report them missing? And what led to such a cruel end?
Authorities believe that the next few days will be crucial to uncovering the truth and achieving justice for the two victims.
