(replaces: Man gets nearly 5 yrs for killing burglar).
A man got four years and 11
months in jail Monday for shooting and wounding a burglar in his
home on July 22, 2013.
Accountant Walter Onichini from a town near Padua was also
ordered to pay damages of 24,500 euros to the family of
25-year-old Albanian Nelson Ndreaca, who was trying to drive off
in Onichini's car.
The sentence was greeted with loud protests from Onichini's
friends and family.
Matteo Salvini of the rightwing populist League said:
"Incredible sentence. Among the first acts of the Salvini
government, a clear law on legitimate self-defence, always
permitted for defending one's life and goods".
