Italy: Two-year-old dies after circumcision, twin brother in serious condition

A two-year-old boy in Italy has died as a result of loss of blood following a circumcision carried out at his home, and his twin brother, who underwent the same procedure, is in a serious condition.

The case occurred in Monterotondo, and the procedure on the twins was allegedly carried out by a man who does not have a medical licence. Both the boys and the man are of Nigerian origin.

Emergency medical services were requested to assist when it became evident that the children’s condition had deteriorated, but in the case of one of the twins it was too late.

The man who performed the circumcisions is being interrogated and is expected to face charges of killing one child and grievously injuring another.
