Rosa Capuano has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after admitting she killed her father, Francesco Capuano, in Suzzara, in the province of Mantova. The confession came during her trial before the Corte d'Assise, according to Il Giorno and the Gazzetta di Mantova.
Multiple Italian outlets, including Tgcom24 and Adnkronos, report that she told the court she was responsible for the death. According to Corriere Milano, she said she could no longer cope with the situation. Adnkronos describes the victim as a disabled man.
The reporting available does not specify the date of the killing, the method, or the charges on which the sentence was handed down. It also does not detail the evidence presented or whether a defence case was argued.
The case has drawn coverage across several Italian news organisations, which reported the courtroom admission and the 25-year term in quick succession. Corriere Milano and the Gazzetta di Mantova both carried her statement that she had reached the limit of what she could bear, while Tgcom24 led on the confession and the sentence.
What to watch next: whether the defence signals an appeal against the 25-year sentence, and whether the full reasoning behind the court's decision is published.
