   It will be the investigations of the Carabinieri of the Ris di Messina to clarify whether they are blood and to whom the stains found on a dress of Martina Patti, the 23-year-old inmate for the murder of her 5-year-old daughter Elena belong.

The item of clothing was seized during a search of the woman's home in Mascalucia ordered by the Catania prosecutor's office.

The tests will have to ascertain whether it is blood, possibly from who she is and how long it has been on the dress in order to be able, if necessary, to connect it to the dynamics of the crime.

The discovery does not place the murder in the house, but coincides with the reconstruction of the woman who, among the declarations of her confession, had said that she had returned home to change her clothes and wash herself.

Operations she did, she explained, after returning from the abandoned fund where the girl's body was found and before going out to stage the false kidnapping of her daughter in Tremestieri Etneo by an armed commando.

In the house was also found the part of the pudding that Martina Patti had prepared for Elena that the little girl would not have finished eating to go with her mother - according to the reconstruction of the suspect - to see a place where her mother played as a child and where the little girl had never gone and she was curious to see.

That would be the place where Elena would have been murdered and the body placed in plastic bags and semi-buried, according to the story of the mother Rea, confesses who, however, does not remember the dynamics of the incident.

A few details emerged from the autopsy: the girl was murdered with over 11 stab wounds, just under twenty would seem, one of which was lethal: the blow to the vessels of the subclavian artery, which resulted in the non-immediate death of the victim. .

The murder weapon has not yet been found despite extensive searches by the Carabinieri of the Scientific Investigations Section (Sis) and the provincial command of Catania and of the Ris of Messina who have thoroughly beaten the campaign where the body of Elena was found and her home.
