Investigations into voluntary homicide in Brunico after the death of a child

The Bolzano prosecutor's office opens an investigation after the death of a 3-year-old boy.

The tragedy of Brunico

On December 26, a three-year-old boy died in a hospital in Brunico, sparking an investigation by the local prosecutor's office for voluntary homicide in the presence of abuse. The child had been hospitalized three days earlier, and the conditions in which he was found raised serious concerns. In fact, medical personnel reported the presence of numerous bruises and hematomas on the child's body, suggesting that he may have been the victim of abuse.

Investigations underway

The prosecutor's office has entered one of the child's parents in the register of suspects, a necessary step to proceed with the autopsy. This investigation, carried out on December 30 at the hospital in Bolzano, is essential to clarify the causes of death. Although the results of the autopsy have not yet been made public, the pathologist in charge has 60 days to present her assessments. The initial analyses have not provided certain elements to support the hypothesis of mistreatment, but malicious actions are not excluded.

The principle of innocence

It is important to emphasize that, at this stage of the investigation, the principle of innocence applies. The Bolzano prosecutor's office has communicated that, although no definitive elements have emerged, the investigation will continue to clarify what happened. The death of a child is always a tragic and complex event, and every detail will be examined with the utmost attention. The community of Brunico is shocked by this tragedy, and it is expected that the competent authorities will shed light on this disturbing story.
