Ten young officers at the center of the checks to shed full light on the checks carried out in a few days in Rome on the alleged killer of Villa Pamphili. At least four occasions in which Francis Kaufmann, under the false name of Rexal Ford, would have appeared before the police in the company of a mother and daughter later found dead in one of the most frequented parks in the city.

Interventions that, however, did not lead to their identification and that will now be analyzed in detail to clarify whether there were flaws in the operational approach. Under the lens not only the work of the five patrols of different police stations sent to the site but all phases of the interventions, including communications with the operations room that in these cases is constantly informed.

The police union Coisp criticized the management of the investigations, denouncing "yet another case of media exposure to the detriment of colleagues". "Ten young officers were literally thrown to the public opinion for the events at Villa Pamphili: without protection, without respect, without even being formally informed of the opening of an investigation", thundered the secretary Domenico Pianese who sent a letter to the police chief Vittorio Pisani.

"The management of the Department - Pianese states - has been irresponsible to say the least: they chose to ride the wave of public emotion, sacrificing the credibility, serenity and dignity of those who wear a uniform". In the letter he claims that "the total silence on the possible responsibilities of the chain of command is surprising, on the stringent operational provisions imposed on the Flying Squad crews, called to quickly close every intervention due to unmanageable workloads. Not a word, once again, - he says - on the inadequate training provided by the Department to young agents called to deal with complex contexts and high interpretative risk".

Coisp assures that it will guarantee "these young colleagues every form of protection, legal and human". During checks in the center of Rome, in the days before the two bodies were found, mother and daughter were not identified. In one of these, the twenty-eight-year-old Russian Anastasia Trofimova said her name was Stella Ford and that she had left her documents at the hotel. A couple of hours later they were reached again by the police, alerted by the report of a passerby who had seen a man, in an altered state, wounded in the head. When the police arrived, the woman was treating the wound on her forehead and reportedly said - speaking in fluent English - that her husband, drunk, had hurt himself by hitting the corner of a building wall and that he had not mistreated her.
