Tragedy Unfolds in Vignale di Traversetolo

Published: 2024-09-17

In Vignale di Traversetolo, a small town in Parma, Italy, a shocking case has gripped the community.

Chiara, a 22-year-old university student, confessed to the voluntary manslaughter and concealment of her newborn's body.

The infant was found buried in the garden of her family home, discovered by her grandmother after a dog unearthed the remains.

Chiara, who had given birth alone at home, claimed she acted without any accomplices.

The investigation revealed a second set of remains, believed to be another newborn, raising suspicions of a second infanticide.

The local prosecutor confirmed that neither Chiara's family nor the child's father were aware of the pregnancies.

The case has left the town in disbelief, as Chiara was known as a model citizen and babysitter.

The community now seeks answers and justice for the tragic events.
