A man who shot dead an
Albanian burglar in a street outside his brother's house near
Brescia in December 2013 got nine years and four months in jail
for murder Wednesday.
Prosecutors had requested 16 years for Mirco Franzoni, 33, in
the death of Eduard Ndoj, 26.
Franzoni was accused of shooting dead the fleeing Ndoj with
a single rifle shot.
Franzoni has always maintained that the rifle went off
accidentally and he had no intention of killing anyone.
The case came amid a row over a legitimate self-defence bill
which conservative opposition groups say does not grant full
self-defence rights to people faced with intruders in their
homes or commercial premises.
