A 55-year-old Roman bank manager on
Monday got 30 years in jail for killing his 47-year-old partner,
a teacher at Rome's historic German school, by bashing her head
in with a gym weight in their home near Rome's iconic Spanish
Steps on May 1, 2017.
A judge also ordered the man's bank accounts and severance
pay to be frozen in view of probable damages to the victim's
relatives.
The femicide took place in Vicolo del Babbuino, between
Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo.
The man, Francesco Carrieri, was said to have been angry that
Michela Di Pompeo had told him she was going to leave him.
Their relationship had lasted about a year and a half.
Di Pompeo's colleagues at Rome's prestigious Deutsche Schule
Rom voiced "great consternation and uncontainable sadness" at
losing a "beloved" friend and colleague.
