(ANSA) - Turin, May 31 - An autopsy will be carried out on Wednesday afternoon on the body of a one-month-old baby who died in Turin this week following a home circumcision.
    The baby on Monday died in hospital after suffering cardiac arrest.
    Both of the child's parents, Ghanaian nationals, are under investigation for the circumcision, which was carried out illegally by an unauthorized doctor, reportedly also a Ghanaian citizen who has yet to be identified.
    The baby's mother, a 35-year-old refugee, also faces culpable homicide charges as she gave her son a 250mg dose of paracetamol after the circumcision - a dose only recommended for children weighing over 12 kilos.
