Italian police arrested a U.S. citizen on Friday in connection with the death of a woman and her baby daughter whose naked bodies were found in a park in

central Rome.



The man, who was not named, was arrested on the Greek island of Skiathos, Rome's chief prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi told reporters at a news conference.

The case has grabbed headlines in Italy since the mother and her child, who was less than one year old, were found dead on Saturday in Villa Pamphili, Rome's largest central city park.



None of the people involved have been named, and prosecutors in the case told reporters they had still not been able to identify the mother or the child.



Italian newspapers have reported that the mother and child were also U.S. citizens, but prosecutors did not confirm this.
