Milan, 8 Apr (LaPresse) – ‘Having inflicted seventy-five stab wounds is not believed to have been a way for Turetta to cruelly inflict cruelty or to maim the victim, but the way in which Turetta carried out the femicide of Giulia Cecchettin, with a “dynamic” “certainly heinous”, was “a consequence of the inexperience and inability” of the 23-year-old. This is what can be read in the grounds – which LaPresse has viewed – of the sentence with which Filippo Turetta was sentenced to life imprisonment on 3 December last for the feminicide of his ex-girlfriend, Giulia Cecchettin, who was murdered in November of the previous year. ‘Turetta did not have the competence and experience to inflict more effective blows on the victim, suitable for causing the girl's death more quickly and ‘cleanly’, so he continued to strike, with a furious and non-targeted repetition of blows, until he realised that Giulia ‘was no longer there’,’ wrote the judges of the Venice Assize Court.
