Rome, 15 May (LaPresse) – ‘Chiara Petrolini was able to commit the very serious crimes she is accused of because she was able to establish and cultivate a rich and complex social and emotional life, which would have been inevitably inhibited under house arrest, and the events relevant to the trial took place under conditions that no longer exist and cannot be repeated’. This was written by the judges of the First Criminal Section of the Court of Cassation in their reasoning for confirming the house arrest of Chiara Petrolini, the young woman from Traversetolo, in the province of Parma, arrested on charges of murder and concealment of the bodies of her two newborn children, buried in the garden of the villa where she lived with her family in Vignale di Traversetolo. The Supreme Court judges continue, in their 14-page ruling, that 'the concrete possibility that Petrolini knows someone who, as in the case of Samuel Granelli, the father of both deceased children and her partner for years, receives her in his home and with whom she has other children, whom she then kills and disposes of the bodies, must be assessed in direct relation to the restrictions associated with house arrest which, as far as is known, does not, in this case, include the right to leave the home, even temporarily'.
