An inmate from the Roman prison of Rebibbia tried to kill her two children: one is dead, the other is trying to save him. It is learned from the president of the penitentiary council and head of the Casa di Leda, Lillo Di Mauro. "The fact would have happened - he explained - in the nest section, where children up to three years old are hosted".

The woman - a 31-year-old German of Georgian descent - killed one of her two children, a 4-month-old child, around midday and injured the other, a boy of about 2 years. The child was taken in "red code" to the Bambino Gesù hospital. His condition, doctors report, is particularly critical with severe brain damage. The child, in a confidential prognosis, is currently undergoing advanced resuscitation support and mechanical ventilation. Neurosurgical intervention is planned.

The woman would have thrown the two children from the stairs inside the penitentiary structure into the 'nest' section.

'' It is a terrible drama - says Aldo Di Giacomo, secretary of the Spp (Penitentiary Police Union) -. This tragedy could have been avoided and others should be avoided. Children should not be kept in prison: it is torture for them. For weeks we have been denouncing the very serious episodes that are happening in Italian prisons. We ask the Minister of Justice for an immediate intervention, he has a moral obligation to intervene in the prison situation, which has become explosive ".
