US man arrested in Greece over death of infant in Rome

ROME: An American man was arrested on the Greek island of Skiathos accused of murdering an infant whose body was found in a park in Rome earlier this month, Italian police said on Sunday.

The man was arrested on Friday by Greek police collaborating with Italian authorities under a European warrant, Italian police said in a statement. The man was detained under “suspicion for the murder of a female infant and the concealment of the corpse of her mother, whose lifeless bodies were found in Rome on June 7 inside the Villa Pamphili park”, one of the largest green spaces in the Italian capital. The discovery of the two bodies in Rome´s popular park made headlines across Italian media, which notably published images of the mother´s tattoos in an effort to identify her.
