The Daily is printing some excerpts from a document bearing declarations by Chiara Petrolini, the twenty-two year old indicted for having slain and interred in the lawn of her family’s abode in Traversetolo, in the Parma vicinity, the two newborns delivered between 2023 and 2024. «I didn’t foresee the gestations, neither the initial one nor the succeeding. However, I somewhat sought the succeeding one because the initial one turned out poorly.”
This is an opinion requested by the prosecution from an assembly of six mind healers and mental health specialists. Certain authorities from Racis, the criminological assessment section of the Carabinieri, scrutinized the dual homicides. Anna Bonifazi, who oversees the Investigative Psychology department, recounted a portion of the assessment executed on the dame at the judicial hearing: «She possesses the capacity to endure and oversee even occurrences and junctures of exceedingly elevated consequence from an emotive and corporeal standpoint: this is emblematic of successive conduct”. She portrayed the offenses as “a climb that stems from the very imagination.”
In three dialogues with two shrinks featured in the consultation, Chiara Petrolini expressed that she had entombed her initial infant in the enclosure to maintain proximity to him. In her view, he was stillborn. She remarked that she pursued Samuel, her paramour, “because I desired the succeeding gestation to proceed smoothly.” She communicated anxieties and desolation, the very reason she abstained from broaching the gestations while hoping her former flame would perceive her abdomen. She furthermore affirmed that she “never possessed the sense that I was undertaking anything amiss by entombing the progeny’s remains.” “I continuously thought that I was birthing lifeless babies and that this was my destined plight. I still aspire to evolve into a maternal figure, but I harbor trepidation that the identical plight will reoccur.” Regarding the subsequent delivery, she recounts that she collapsed following the severance of the umbilical string. “Upon awakening, the infant had his eyes closed.”
The former Boyfriend
Samuel Granelli, Chiara Petrolini’s former beau, bore witness in the third session of the 22-year-old’s trial. «Following the eruption of the matter, we had reconciled since September 2023. Chiara notified me that they had unearthed a child in the enclosure of her residence, yet she omitted to inform me that it was her offspring. Had I possessed the awareness, we would have deliberated it. I wouldn’t have permitted him to conclude in such a manner.” He elucidated: «I seldom employed contraceptives, but we never pondered a conceivable gestation. I never harbored the inkling that she might be expectant, never a suspicion, I never discerned anything: not even when she was unclothed.”
