Newborns buried in garden, the two children were born alive, the decision made after the terrible discovery: what will happen now

Birth and death must be registered at the municipal registry office of Traversetolo: Chiara Petrolini’s two newborns must be given a name and buried

According to the law, the two newborns born and killed by Chiara Petrolini must be given a name and guaranteed burial. This is because they were born alive. A semblance of dignity to be offered to these two innocent creatures who, even if for a very few moments, still lived.

Although the law seems clear in this regard, there are doubts as to who will take care of the registration, funeral and burial of the two newborns.

The choice of names

The magistrate Alfonso D’Avinocurrently leading the investigations coordinated by the Parma Prosecutor’s Officewill be responsible for opening a file to allow the registration of the births of the two newborns and their deaths at the Municipality of Traversetolo.

An aspect that will surely have a particular and delicate importance it will be the choice of names to be attributed to the two children. A choice that requires an agreement between the two families involved, without which the Prosecutor’s Office will be responsible for providing the information.

Organizing the funeral

In addition to registering the two newborns at the registry office, the law requires that they be given a dignified burial. This is because, even if only for a few moments, they breathed before dying.

Simone Dall’Ortothe mayor of Traversetolo, the town where the terrible double infanticide took place, has informed the two families of his availability to organize the burial of the little ones. The final decision will however be up to Chiara’s grandparents and ex-boyfriend, Emanuel.

One of the hypotheses that is currently circulating concerns the possibility of celebrating a single burial without any ceremony. However, this is only a hypothesis, as at the current state of affairs nothing definitive has been decided yet.

On the investigation front, on September 26th the 21 year old Chiara Petrolini, the only person investigated and accused of the double infanticide, will face a preliminary interrogationduring which you may choose not to respond.
