A shocking sentence from the Turin court, the man was given just 18 months' suspended sentence: the judge said, "She had brutally informed him of the separation."
He had leaned against a wooden beam, which collapsed, crushing him. He spent five days in agony in two hospitals, and died today. Manslaughter is under investigation.
A complaint was filed with the Prosecutor's Office for aiding and abetting, and WhatsApp messages between the mother and son were handed over. The man committed suicide in prison.
It was he who linked the alleged red-light parties at the sanctuary to Chiara's murder, a hypothesis later relaunched by Sempio's lawyer Massimo Lovati.
