Published: 2024-07-18

Tragedy struck in Caraglio, Italy, when 7-year-old Anisa Murati drowned during a summer camp outing.

The Albanian-Italian girl disappeared from her group at the Bioparco 'Acqua Viva' and was found two meters deep in the artificial lake after a three-hour search.

The incident has sparked an investigation, with prosecutors opening a case for negligent homicide.

Questions arise about supervision, as reports suggest only two of seven chaperones were adults.

The biopark has been sealed off for investigation, and an autopsy is pending.

The local diocese has expressed deep sorrow, with nearby towns declaring two days of mourning.
