Genoa, May 31 (LaPresse) – “Don’t go to school because something terrible happened,” followed by the car ride from Perinaldo to Montebruno, in the hills above Bordighera: these are the words recalled by Emanuel Iannuzzi, arrested yesterday for the death of little Beatrice in Bordighera on February 9, as reported in the testimony of the girl’s older sister, who was interviewed under protective measures during the investigation. It is in those words that investigators in Imperia have established the context of repeated abuse and beatings of the little girl, just two years old, who died from injuries sustained at the man’s home. And then, on the morning of Monday, February 9, she was brought back to Bordighera by car. According to reconstructions based on the girls’ accounts, cross-referenced with other crucial investigative evidence including surveillance footage and phone records, the driver was the mother, Emanuela Aiello, who allegedly wrapped little Beatrice in a blanket—already dead according to the time indicated by the initial autopsy findings—and loaded her into the car along with her two sisters to return home to Montenero, from where she called 911: by then, it was too late.
