Mother and daughter dead at Villa Pamphili in Rome, witnesses: "A man was staggering, he had a small bundle in his hand"

On Saturday afternoon, in the Villa Pamphili park in Rome , the bodies of a woman of about 40 years old and a baby girl of a few months were found. Preliminary tests have shown that the two victims are mother and daughter . Now, after the testimonies collected, they are looking for a man , perhaps the perpetrator of the double homicide. But the investigators are not excluding the possibility of the woman's fatal illness and the consequent dramatic death of the little girl from starvation . "We saw a man, he was staggering and had something in his arms, like a little bundle ." Twenty-four hours later, in that same patch of green - reports Il Corriere della Sera - the little girl, just over six months old, was found lifeless, lying in the woods, without any clothes on, bruises and scratches on her arms and hands.

Two hundred meters away, a few hours later, the woman, the little girl's mother, was discovered as confirmed by preliminary tests. Lives on the edge of civilization , so invisible that those who abandoned them considered them not even worthy of burial, ready to be swallowed up by the greenery of a park. Among the many voices collected in these hours by investigators, and yet instead not a few people have spent words to say that they had "seen" those lives.

There are - continues Il Corriere - at least two other people, an athlete and an elderly man who frequents the senior center in the park, who noticed the woman and the little girl wandering around the area , believing them to be in trouble and also offering to help them. From the first findings, the coroner has not revealed precise causes of death for the woman, also ordering toxicological tests to ascertain any addictions but the police also continue to hunt for the man with "a bundle" in his hand.
