A local babysitter had two newborn babies buried in her garden, an investigation into infanticide revealed.
Chiara Petrolini, 22, was arrested after DNA tests allegedly confirmed she was the mother of one of the infants, a boy, found buried in her garden.
Petrolini, who lived with her parents, was described as a “model university student” and was holidaying in New York when the grim discovery was made by authorities. The investigation into the garden in the quiet commune of Vignale di Traversetolo near Parmer in Italy began last month, August, when Petrolini’s grandmother’s dog unearthed a body.
The baby had been buried alive, as indicated by “soil found in the lungs” according to a leaked autopsy report.
Last week, a second body was discovered, but no details about that infant’s de@th have been disclosed yet.
The autopsy of the first baby revealed that the father was Petrolini’s 22 year old boyfriend, named locally as Emanuele.
