Villa Pamphili, there is a witness: “The woman and the girl were in a tent, and there was also a man”

There is a witness. A detail that could offer a concrete foothold to trace the identity of the mother and her little girl you find lifeless At Villa Pamphili, in Rome. A operator of the Giardini service told the investigators that he had seen the woman and his daughter livesin the company of a man.

There were three, he reported: a woman with a girl in her arms “in bands” and a man with a “olive complexion”. They were in a curtain hidden just beyond the surrounding wall that runs along Via Leone XIIIrepaired by a group of oleandri. That curtain, now under seizure, was a few meters from the bodies, when they were discovered.

“I told them that they couldn’t stay there”explained the witness, “that it was forbidden to camp in the villa and that they had to leave”. He spoke to the three in English, he specified, but he does not know how to indicate exactly the day: “It was late May”. For the prosecutor, it is a weak track, but it is a track, a starting point. The hypothesis, still to be demonstrated, is that that man may have played a role in the affair. But who was it? And who were the two victims?

The only certainty at the moment is the blood bond: The DNA test confirmed that the woman was the mother of the girl. But the rest is wrapped in the dark. The autopsy, performed on the young woman’s body, has not given definitive answers: no sign of violence, nor injuries to the internal organs, nor traces of drugs. “There were no external wounds such as to justify death,” the investigators explain. No evidence not even of a suffocation. The picture of the Small: she died of strangulation, after being beaten. And he had an empty stomach: he had been suffering from hunger for days. A detail that opens even more disturbing scenarios. Those who killed him may have done so to silence his inconsolable cry.

A useful thread for investigations could come from the Villa Pamphili tent. According to what emerged, would have been donated by an association which distributes material to those who live on the street. And, important detail, Those who request it must leave a document and be recorded. If that tent has not passed from hand in hand, as is possible, it could lead to a name, to an identity.

Meanwhile, the police are comparing the women’s tattoos, whose images have been spread, with the databases of hospitals, canteens and reception facilities throughout Italy. Common drawings, performed badly, according to Gabriele Donnini, tattoo artist and industry expert. “Maybe a geographical clue is there: In the surfboard I see the colors of the Lithuanian flag», He hypothesized, speaking with the Courier.
