Overview
- Prosecutors in Imperia had Manuel Iannuzzi arrested on May 30 on charges of aggravated mistreatment leading to the February death of 2-year-old Beatrice, and the child’s mother faces the same upgraded charge and remains in custody.
- Investigators relied on an autopsy that found numerous injuries and a severe cranial trauma, forensic Ris traces of blood in the mother’s car and at Iannuzzi’s Perinaldo home, and protected testimony from the victim’s sisters to seek the arrests.
- An 11-year-old at a San Vito Lo Capo middle school brought two knives to class on May 29, wore a full-face helmet, live-streamed the attempt on Telegram, and was stopped after the technology teacher disarmed him and suffered only a minor hand wound; the case is with the juvenile prosecutor in Palermo.
- Other recent school incidents have triggered fast police action: three teens in Parma were investigated and searched after a filmed confrontation with teachers, and separate probes in the Milan area led to an elementary teacher’s arrest for alleged abuse.
- Authorities say digital evidence, CCTV, phone files and forensic work are central to ongoing inquiries, which could bring further charges and are already shaping questions about child protection, school safety and online platform oversight.
