ImputatoSommario
The victim, a 2-year-old girl, died in Bordighera from acute cerebral hemorrhage caused by a blow to the head sustained within 48 hours of her death. An autopsy also found two additional internal hemorrhages and signs of chronic malnutrition and neglect dating back roughly a year; doctors said she could have survived had an ambulance been called in time. The victim's mother and her partner are in custody, charged with aggravated maltreatment resulting in death; both maintain their innocence. She was found lifeless on 9 February 2026 at her mother's home in Montenero, a hillside district of Bordighera. The child's funeral was held on 14 August 2026 at the church of the Immacolata in Bordighera, attended by hundreds of people and led by the bishop of the Sanremo-Ventimiglia diocese. The victim's mother, initially authorised to attend, was barred the previous day when the investigating judge revoked the permission on grounds of public order and security. The child's biological father, detained in an unrelated case, attended under escort by the prison police.
