A 70-year-old Italian man, Salvatore Montefusco, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for shooting his wife and daughter to death. Despite the Prosecutor's Office requesting a life sentence, the judge ruled that Montefusco's actions were 'understandably human motives' stemming from 'nefarious family dynamics'.
A husband who brutally machine-gunned his wife and daughter to death in Italy has avoided a life sentence after a judge ruled he had 'understandably human motives'.
The Modena Court of Assizes were reportedly lenient on the killer after explaining he had reached the age of 70 with no criminal record and would not have carried out the heinous crime 'if not driven by the nefarious family dynamics that had been triggered over time'. According to judges, the motive behind the double-murder was 'the psychological condition of profound discomfort, humiliation and enormous frustration experienced by the defendant'.
