A newborn boy has died following a botched circumcision attempt in Italy.

The boy reportedly died overnight on Tuesday near the port city of Genoa after his 25-year-old Nigerian mother and his grandmother called for emergency medical help. When the ambulance arrived the child had already died.

His death is the third of its kind in the country in recent months, with a five-month-old and a two-year-old dying in similar circumstances.

In the latest case, investigators told Italian news agency ANSA they suspected a third person carried out the circumcision and are checking the mother and grandmother's phone records to trace the suspect.

It is the third case of its kind in the last few months. A five-month-old baby died in Bologna last month after his parents performed a circumcision at home.

In December last year, a two-year-old boy died of severe blood loss as a result of a botched circumcision in Rome.

In that case, his twin brother also nearly died but survived following intensive care treatment.

That operation had taken place in a centre provided by the non-profit organisation Arci and the council in Monterondo, a north-western suburb of Rome.

The doctor, who was believed to be an American citizen of Libyan origin, called for emergency help when the boy began excessively bleeding, Italian media reported at the time.
