American Suspect Arrested in Rome Infant Murder

An American man was arrested on the Greek island of Skiathos at the request of Italian authorities in connection with the suspected murder of an infant girl in Rome's Villa Doria Pamphili park. The bodies of the infant and her mother, both believed to be Americans, were found naked and without identification, with the mother's body partially covered by a black bag and the infant discovered several hundred meters away. Italian prosecutors state there is currently insufficient evidence to charge the suspect with the mother's death, as her cause of death remains undetermined. The man had reportedly been seen with the victims at a shelter for the needy near the Vatican, and the trio was believed to be a family unit. Authorities tracked the suspect using fingerprints and mobile phone data after he fled Italy. The suspect awaits extradition proceedings in Greece, while genetic testing is underway to confirm the victims' identities and relationships.
