A Ghanaian man who killed three
people with a pickaxe and injured two more was sentenced Friday
to eight years in prison plus three years in a treatment
facility for the attempted murders of the two survivors.
Mada 'Adam' Kabobo went on a rampage with a pickaxe
at dawn on May 11, 2013, killing three passersby in an
apparently random attack.
The 21-year-old was taken into custody shortly after the
attacks in a residential area on the northern outskirts of
Milan.
A Milan judge last year found that Kabobo knew what he was
doing at the time of the rampage, even though he has been
diagnosed as schizophrenic.
He reportedly told investigators he was hearing voices
during the killing spree.
Kabobo is already serving 20 years for the murders.
The court on Friday also sentenced him to pay damages of
30,000 euros to one of the survivors.
