The mother of small child who was
found to be dead when he arrived at a hospital in the northern
town of Novara on Thursday has been put under investigation
along with her partner.
The pair used the right to remain silent in questioning.
Prosecutors have opened a homicide probe into the death of
the one-year-old.
"We are still at the preliminary stage of the investigation
and it is too early to formulate specific accusations," said
Novara prosecutor Marilinda Mineccia, adding that investigators
were waiting for the result of autopsy tests.
