A father was released from criminal liability after his five-year-old son had changed and killed an 87-year-old woman while he learned to cycle in Italy.
The child hit the nameless woman while he learns to cycle without stabilizers in a park in Milan.
The crash made sure that the victim lost her balance and dropped before she hit her head.
Research into judge Luigi Iannelli has now agreed to archive the case 2023 after finding the father of the child, who was at the time by his side, not liable for manslaughter.
He was confronted with paying 200,000 euros (£ 168,000) if liable.
The court ultimately ruled that the speed and 'unfortunate arbitrariness of the event' did not give the father the time to intervene.
The Italian press agency Ansa had reported at the time that the boy '' lost 'control' and the woman hit a moderate speed '.

“At the time, the consequences of the accident did not seem serious and the boy's father almost insisted that an ambulance was called,” Ansa reported.
“Later, however, the situation deteriorated: the lady lost consciousness and died in the hospital.”
Public Prosecutors had tried to determine criminal liability on the father of the child, with reference to the manslaughter legislation that “not preventing an event that one has the legal obligation to prevent, is the same way to cause it.”
He was also expected to compensate for the melody of 'about 200 thousand euros', per Ansa, unless he was able to prove that he was 'unable to prevent the action'.
The investigating judge in Milan has rejected the idea that 'everything is predictable and avoidable, and where every accident is changing in injustice, with the resulting rejection of the concept of' deadly 'and the resulting search for debt for all costs', as reported by Corriere della Serra today.
