Chilling Discovery: Newborn Found Dead in Garden

Published: 2024-09-14

In a chilling case that has gripped the community of Vignale di Traversetolo, Parma, a newborn was found dead in a villa's garden on August 9. An autopsy confirmed the baby was alive at birth but died shortly after, with the exact cause still under investigation.

The mother, a 22-year-old local woman, has been identified through DNA testing, and potential charges range from infanticide to voluntary manslaughter.

The investigation took a darker turn when additional remains, possibly of another infant, were discovered in the same garden.

These remains are believed to be older, and DNA tests are underway to uncover more details.

The villa has been seized by authorities as they continue to search for any accomplices.

The local community, already shaken by the initial discovery, is in shock as the investigation unfolds, hoping for clarity and justice.
