Furchì sentenced to life for murder of Turin councillor Musy

(ANSA) - Turin, January 28 - Turin politician Francesco Furchì was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday for the murder of Turin city councillor Alberto Musy, who was shot in the courtyard of his home in March 2012 and lingered in a coma for 19 months before his death. Musy, a married father of four young children, belonged to the centrist UDC party and investigators had said that a likely motive for the shooting was his unwillingness to do favours for Furchi who had supported Musy's political campaign.
