Italian authorities have detained two Nigerian women in relation to the home circumcision-related death of a 20-day-old Nigerian boy.
It was learned that the event took place on Friday, March 24, 2023 in Montecompatri, close to Rome.
The two Nigerian women are accused of aggravated manslaughter and illegal practice of a trade, according to the Italian news agency ANSA.
In order to conduct an investigation, both ladies were taken to the Rome Rebibbia-Feminine.
