Baby Elena del Pozzo was the victim of a violent and possibly slow death.
Italian media report that the 5-year-old probably tried to escape from her mother's hands, albeit only instinctively, as any evidence leads to the conclusion that Martina Patti wanted to kill her daughter.
After the reconstruction of the facts and the confession (which follows that of the carabinieri) the investigating judge has expressed herself very shocked.
"Because the murder of a child at a young age and, consequently, unprotected, in addition to integrating a very serious crime, is an unnatural behavior, disgusting, immoral, reprehensible, not at all acceptable in any context… a "an indicator of a strong criminal instinct and a high degree of risk," she said.
The judge defines the 23-year-old as "sober", who, if not arrested, could escape.
