She had fallen asleep and next to her she had her brothers' and mother's cell phones, probably stolen from her family so they wouldn't ask for help.
In the room next to her were the bodies of her brothers.
It is the latest dramatic detail to emerge about the 17-year-old in prison on charges of having killed, together with father Giovanni Barreca and his accomplices, her mother Antonella Salamone and her two brothers, aged 16 and 5, Kevin and Emanuel.
Contrary to what was initially reported, she was the girl, the only survivor of the massacre, committed during exorcisms, she would not have been in a state of confusion at all when the police arrived, after Barreca's confession of the crime.
But she slept peacefully in her room.
The teenager confessed to her role in her crimes by admitting that together with the three suspects, all in prison, he had tortured her family members and that he had contributed to burying the charred remains of her mother in the garden.
While her mother and brothers were dying, the 17-year-old exchanged dozens of messages with her friends.
"I would do it all again, we had to free ourselves from the devil", she told the prosecutors who questioned her.
Meanwhile, the autopsy on the bodies of the victims of the family massacre in Altavilla Milicia has begun in the Palermo Polyclinic.
It was carried out by the medical examiner Davide Albano, the expert appointed by the Termini Imerese Prosecutor's Office.
The lawyers of the couple under investigation, the lawyers Vincenzo and Sergio Sparti, have announced that they will leave their position: "we will resign our mandate - they explained - due to problems linked to the organization of the work of our firm".
The forensic doctor who had been appointed by them as a consultant for the autopsy had to withdraw due to a problem of incompatibility with his professional role.
However, the architect Concetto Miccichè remains nominated for the examination of human bones.
