A 43-year-old Italian man has dodged
a life penalty for murdering his ex in front of their three
children in May 2020 because the judge found his jealousy of her
new boyfriend sparked an "impulsive reaction" in him.
Brescia assizes judge Roberto Spanò said in giving Gianluca Lupi
24 years in jail that "there should not be an automatic equation
that wife-killing equals life imprisonment".
He said that in stabbing his ex to death Lupi had shown a "loss
of self-control under the pressure of impelling emotional
stimuli", that there had been no premeditation, and no history
of domestic abuse.
