Overview
- Investigators concluded that Beatrice died from repeated cranial trauma the night of Feb. 8–9, and autopsy findings contradicted the mother’s initial account that the injuries were from an accidental fall.
- Phone and video material seized by police include footage that prosecutors say shows violent mistreatment and a clip in which the toddler is forced to smoke, evidence cited in the magistrate’s custody order.
- The two older sisters, aged 7 and 9, gave testimony used by prosecutors and are now in protected care after social‑services reports described them as ‘adultized’ by caregiving and household duties.
- In early June hearings the mother answered the judge’s questions while Emanuel Iannuzzi, who was transferred to Genova Pontedecimo and placed in isolation, remained silent on his lawyers’ advice; both remain in pretrial custody for aggravated maltreatment causing death.
- Prosecutors continue assembling digital and testimonial evidence, defense teams say they have limited access to audiovisual material so far, and authorities may seek stiffer charges as the case file is completed.
