Overview
- Three members of a Bangladeshi family — parents and their young daughter — were found stabbed to death in their Casalotti apartment after screams drew neighbors and the family’s eldest son returned home on Friday; the son survived with serious but non‑life‑threatening injuries.
- Investigators have named and released a 43‑year‑old Bangladeshi suspect and launched a large manhunt across Rome and the wider Lazio region using checkpoints, patrols, drones, CCTV checks and a public tip line.
- Police seized a large knife (mannaia) from the flat, recovered a phone left at the scene, and are relying on forensic analysis, CCTV and the wounded son’s testimony to link the suspect to the killings.
- Prosecutors are examining a possible passion‑related motive based on community accounts that the suspect was known to the family and reportedly had an obsessive interest in the mother, a line of inquiry investigators say is still provisional.
- Local Bangladeshi leaders and police have warned against vigilante action as searches continue, autopsies and further forensic work are scheduled, and authorities ask anyone with information to contact the Squadra Mobile tip line.
