Also Anastasia Trofimova, found lifeless among the brushwood of Villa Pamphili, in Rome, not far from the corpse of her daughter Andromeda, She died of strangulation, like her little girl: This was established by the medical-legal report of Professor Vincenzo Arena, of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart. From the investigations on the double murder that took place on 7 June, new details emerge: the histopathological insights highlighted hematic stravasis in the soft front tissues of the neck, particularly in the peri-eightean and thyroid areas, injuries compatible with strong external pressure. No element indicates a death from natural causes, thus excluding the hypothesis of an illness.

In addition to the clear signs of strangulation, the autopsy found Scratches and skin lesions in various parts of the body. According to the experts, these wounds would be compatible with a drama that took place while the twenty -eight year old Russian was still alive. A detail that strengthens the track track and that will be deepened by the investigators to understand if it happened at the place of the discovery or elsewhere.

Further advice ordered by the Prosecutor also found Signs of pressure on the carotid, an element that could indicate a specific strangulation technique. It remains to be clarified whether it has been exercised with naked hands or with an object: a decisive detail to reconstruct the dynamics and the times of the murder.

On the judicial front, Charles Francis Kaufmannalias Rexal Ford46 years old, an American citizen accused of the double murder, He revoked the mandate to his lawyer by declaring in the hearing that he wanted to defend himself personally. Arrested in Volos, Greece, and outside Italy, he is currently in isolation in Rebibbia. Kaufmann motivated the choice by saying that “in the United States it can be made”, but Italian law does not allow it. The prosecutor then appointed a new office defender. The investigators report that The man has already kept unpredictable behaviors and put in place protests in prison.

A key piece of the investigation had come from the genetic tests, which confirmed that Kaufmann is the father of little Andromeda. This figure, together with the new medical-legal feedback and the traces of possible scuffle, consolidates the accusatory system: according to the reconstruction of the Rome prosecutor, Charles Francis Kaufmann would have killed both the partner and the daughter in the park of Villa Pamphili.
