Villa Pamphili, from the mother’s tattoos to the girl’s clothes, from the surveillance cameras to the testimonies: as the scientific identified the victims of the tragedy of the Roman park (and their alleged aggressor)

They finally have a name the two bodies found lifeless Among the oleanders of Villa Pamphili, that of a young woman, hidden under a black bag, and that of her little girl of a few months, abandoned not far away. The dense network of the investigations between the canteens of the poor, testimonies and surveillance movies has made it possible to trace their identity and, above all, to trace the profile of theman who was with them: most likely the same who killed the little girl After the death, perhaps natural, or perhaps not, of the mother.

The victims and the alleged murderer They are US citizens. “That man was violent and the woman did not want to bring him closer to his little girl”. It is one of the many stories collected among those who attend the canteens of the poor, among the homeless people who live near San Pietro or among the branches of Villa Pamphili. Fragmentary testimonies, but agree in outlining a stormy relationship. The woman, little more than thirty years old, had light hair and skin, like the girl. The man, Latin traits, olive complexion, often sighted with a hat with a visor.

The three lived on the street. A tent, a sleeping bag, some personal objects. And precisely those shreds of everyday life, added to 40 finds collected by the scientific, contributed to delineate an identity. Among the key clues, a pink outfit (shorts and tank top of a couple of larger sizes of the girl) found in a basket, and that hat recognized by multiple witnesses.

The surveillance cameras had filmed them several times as a small family unitto the canteens of Caritas and the community of Sant’Egidio, to the market in via San Silverio. And it was precisely in a canteen that the man, following the procedure, exhibited a document. His name was recorded in the system. From there, the right “match”.

The investigative turning point does not clarify all questions yet. The autopsy established that the mother died at least 4-5 days before the girl, perhaps from natural causes. There are no obvious signs of violence, nor traces of alcohol or drugs. The “sweet” suffocation is considered a remote hypothesis. The lungs and the heart were not suffering. Only natural death or a possible poisoning remain: Toxicological exams are in progress.

The little girl, however, was killed. “It was beaten and suffocated to almost the strangulation,” the investigators report. A gesture perhaps dictated by despair, perhaps to silence the cry of the girl without breast milk. Dynamics, however, leaves a dark point: why did the man, after the woman’s death, returned to the same place to abandon – or kill – the girl two hundred meters away?

After disseminating clues in the park, The man has disappeared. It is believed that he managed to escape abroad. Since yesterday his name has been issued to all police forces international. It is officially sought on the accusation of double aggravated murder.

Another important piece came from the identification of the woman through her tattoos, in particular one: a skeleton with a surfboard that seemed to reproduce the colors of the Lithuanian flag. He has been found in Australia and the United States. Some reports came after the transmission Who saw it? He relaunched the case live, showing the images of the tattoos and relaunching the appeal of the police. It is precisely to the Rai 3 program that a report came on Wednesday that proved to be decisive for investigators: it emerged that The man and the woman had both been identified a few weeks ago by a steering wheel who intervened to quell a violent quarrel among them, not far from the park. Their name had already appeared in a report.

We investigate now to understand how long the three were in Italy. Their origin is “composite” and it could be a family unit that has formed in the peregrine between towns and cities.
