Overview
- The fall from a third-floor apartment in via Zanotti Bianco early Wednesday left the 46-year-old mother and two young children dead and a daughter in intensive care.
- The Squadra Mobile, coordinated by the Catanzaro prosecutor’s office, is treating a murder–suicide as the leading theory and is reviewing nearby security-camera footage.
- Police forensic teams inspected the home, and prosecutors said they are still running checks to rule out any third-party involvement as a routine step.
- Prosecutors said the inquiry focuses on the woman’s past and present psychiatric condition, noting prior mental-health distress in an official statement.
- Authorities identified the mother as Anna Democrito, an employee at a local elder-care facility, and reports say her husband was asleep in the home and found the scene after hearing noises.
