Mother and daughter poisoned with ricin Evidence sent to Berlin for analysis. Checks on a trip abroad and the party after the deaths

An investigation into the deaths of Antonella Di Ielsi and her daughter Sara Di Vita, who died between December 27 and 28, 2025, at the Campobasso hospital, has entered a more complex phase. The initial suspicion points to acute poisoning by ricin, with biological samples, food items, and objects from their home sent to the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin for detailed analysis. Surviving family members' biological samples are also being tested for indirect exposure. International cooperation is expanding, with German authorities like the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) joining the case. Investigators are examining various elements, including messages from the deceased, a trip abroad by people close to the family after the funerals, and a subsequent celebration. These remain unproven leads but are part of efforts to reconstruct movements and relationships. Medically, the prosecution has halted the release of final autopsy reports until a complete, signed document with technical appendices is available, ensuring all parties have access to a comprehensive report.
