(see related)The mother of
Antonio Giglio on Thursday denied responsibility in the death of
her three-year-old son, who fell from a seventh-floor apartment
in Caivano near Naples in 2013.
"The accusations against me are false," said the
ex-girlfriend of 44-year-old Raimondo Caputo, the man who is
accused of raping and killing six-year-old Fortuna Loffredo by
throwing her off an eighth-floor balcony in the same apartment
complex in 2014.
"Antonio died by accident - to this day I can't fathom how
it could have happened," said the woman, who is in pretrial
custody on conspiracy child molestation charges.
Prosecutors believe she threw three-year-old Giglio off the
balcony on April 27, 2013.
The suspect says her son fell out of the window after
leaning out too far to watch a passing helicopter.
Caputo has told investigators that his ex-girlfriend killed
the little boy.
