The 23-year-old mother of the newborn found dead yesterday in Burgos may have been beaten.

The woman had called 118 because she was not well, but when the rescuers arrived they saw the little body of the little girl of a few days.

The carabinieri arrived on the spot while the 23-year-old was taken to hospital.

From a first reconstruction it seems that the young woman gave birth at home, perhaps last Saturday : the newborn could have been born dead or died during the birth or immediately afterwards. On the other hand, the first hypothesis according to which the child was not fed or cared for adequately seems to be losing consistency.

Only the autopsy , ordered by the deputy prosecutor of Nuoro, Giorgio Bocciarelli, will be able to provide useful elements to clarify these decisive aspects of the affair.

They investigate the carabinieri of the Compagnia di Bono and the colleagues of the provincial command of Sassari.
