Court remands child killer to psych ward

(ANSA) - Florence, July 29 - Convicted child murderer Luigi Chiatti is still dangerous and needs to remain in psychiatric custody for at least another three years after he finishes serving 30 years in September, a surveillance court judge in Florence said Wednesday.
    A Perugia appeals court ruled Chiatti, 45, needed to be treated at a psychiatric facility after serving his sentence.
    In 1997, the supreme Cassation Court upheld a 30-year prison term for Chiatti, a surveyor in the Umbria town of Foligno who kidnapped and murdered four-year-old Simone Allegretti and 13-year-old Lorenzo Paolucci in 1992 and 1993 respectively.
    A court of first instance in 1994 had sentenced Chiatti to life, which was reduced to 30 years on appeal after he was declared mentally unfit.
