The Court of Appeal of Catania confirmed the life sentence for murder of the mother, Letizia Spatola, 25 years old , and her partner, Salvatore Blanco, 33 years old .

The sentence of 22 July 2022 of the Court of Assizes of Syracuse confirmed. According to the prosecution, the child died from injuries inflicted by the man in front of his mother who never intervened .

The serious "cardio-respiratory insufficiency due to aspiration bronchopneumonia", we read in the autopsy report, would be attributable to some injuries suffered by the child.
