A breakthrough in the investigation into the death of two-year-old Beatrice in Bordighera.

Manuel Iannuzzi, 42, the partner of the mother of the child who died on February 9, was arrested this morning.

The man is accused of aggravated child abuse resulting in the little girl's death.

The youngest of three daughters, her father in prison, the little girl was the daughter of Manuela Aiello, 43, who had begun a relationship with another man. On the morning of February 9th, her mother called, alone at home with her three daughters: "She's not moving anymore." As emergency workers rushed to the scene, the operator gave the woman first aid instructions. There was no way, Beatrice had died. And the coroner immediately noted bruises on various parts of her body.

So the mother is taken to the barracks and after a long interrogation, ends up in prison.

The autopsy later confirmed injuries to the back, abdomen, legs, and lips, as well as a head trauma that caused a cerebral hemorrhage, the cause of death.

The woman denied the incident, referring to a fall down the stairs that had occurred days earlier. She never implicated her new partner, but investigators discovered that Manuela Aiello and her three daughters had spent the night at Iannuzzi's house, and that the woman was caught on camera driving home with the girls. Beatrice was in that car; she was already dead, six hours before the call for help.

Today the new turning point, with the arrest of Iannuzzi.
