“During a long interrogation we objected to many inconsistencies,” added prosecutor Zuccaro, who added that later the mother took the investigators to the place where the body of the little girl was found and after taking her statement again, she confessed to having killed her daughter.
The young mother, about 20 years old, resident in the town of Mascalucia, had denounced that Elena, 5 years old, had been kidnapped while he was in the car with her in the small town of Piano di Tremestieri Etneo, when three armed hooded men opened the car door and took her daughter away.
The photo of the girl had been disseminated by law enforcement and published in all the media in an attempt to facilitate her whereabouts.
The investigators ruled out almost from the beginning that it was organized criminals or a kidnapping for ransom and directed the investigations to the family environment.
