She left her one and a half year old daughter alone at home in Milan for six days and when she returned yesterday morning, she found her dead.
The 37-year-old woman was arrested on charges of voluntary homicide aggravated by futile motives and premeditation.
The little girl was in a camping cot and next to her there was a bottle but also a bottle of benzodiazepines half full.
"I knew it could go like this."
This is what the 37-year-old woman arrested for voluntary murder by the police for having left her one and a half year old daughter alone at home in Milan for 6 days, from Thursday last week until yesterday morning, would have said.
She was stopped yesterday and interrogated during the night by the prosecutor on duty Francesco De Tommasi.
She appeared lucid, as far as it was known, even if in front of some questions she remained silent.
