The Court of Cassation confirmed the 30-year sentence imposed on the nurse Laura Taroni , accused of the murder of her husband , Massimo Guerra, and that of her mother , Maria Rita Clerici.
According to the newspaper Il Giorno, the Supreme Court rejected the appeal presented by its lawyers, accepting instead the request for Deputy Attorney General Luigi Giordano .
Both deaths, according to the indictment, were caused by a lethal mix of drugs . The motive was the hatred for her husband, a now cumbersome obstacle to the relationship with Leonardo Cazzaniga , at the time primary assistant in the emergency room of the hospital of Saronno , where the woman served as a nurse.
For Cazzaniga, due to the death of ten people, eight of whom in the ward, always with drugs considered lethal, and for the two in the Taroni family, the sentence to life imprisonment and three years of daytime isolation had been confirmed in Milan . The anesthetist was accused of having administered lethal drugs, the famous "Cazzaniga protocol", to 13 people between 2011 and 2014 and on appeal he was acquitted by the Court of Assizes of Appeal "because the fact does not exist" from three murders.
Cazzaniga will appear before the Supreme Court on 30 September.
