Mother and 13-Year-Old Daughter Found Dead in Turin Apartment

Police say a preliminary reconstruction points to a probable murder‑suicide and forensic checks are under way.

Overview

  • Two bodies were discovered in an apartment on via Domodossola in Turin after the woman's 19-year-old daughter entered the home and alerted emergency services.
  • Investigators from the Squadra Mobile report a first reconstruction that the 40-year-old mother killed her 13-year-old with a cord and then took her own life.
  • The 19-year-old who found the bodies was hospitalized in shock and received emergency care at a local hospital.
  • Reports note the mother was described as of Romanian origin and was in the process of separating from her husband, who was not at home during the incident.
  • Authorities say the murder‑suicide hypothesis is the lead line of inquiry while autopsies and forensic checks proceed and investigators work to reconstruct the full sequence of events.
