September 16, 2019 Voluntary murder: this is the charge against which the young 34-year-old mother who killed her baby along the "Telesina", in Benevento, was arrested and sent to prison in Benevento. The woman in front of the prosecutor would have made use of the right to remain silent.

The young woman was locked in the Capodimonte prison of Benevento. The baby was born about four months ago from the relationship with a man with whom the woman, originally from Campolattaro (Benevento), lives in Quadrelle, in the province of Avellino. The woman, suffering from disability, did not provide explanations on the gesture.

The 4-month-old baby was found dead in a ditch along the Telesina state road, at Solopaca, in Benevento. According to the first reconstructions of the Carabinieri, the woman, after having hit the guardrail with her car, would have come down and (apparently under the eyes of some people) she would have thrown the baby into a ravine six, seven meters deep. But the horror does not end there: reached down into the escarpment, he would have hit him, perhaps with a piece of wood. The soldiers of the provincial company of Benevento have collected evidence and testimonies that seem to confirm the dynamic.

Investigators are trying to ascertain the reasons that would have led the woman to kill her newborn on the Telesina highway.

The removal of the woman, together with the child, had been denounced some hours before by the cohabitant in the Avellino area.
