(ANSA) - BOLOGNA, APRIL 28 - Life imprisonment confirmed in definitive way to Saverio Cervellati, 58, for killing the companion Cinzia Fusi, 34, in Copparo (Ferrara) on the morning of August 24, 2019. The woman was massacred with a wooden brick in the market where she was employed.

The defendant was also his employer.

It was Cervellati himself who called the carabinieri who found the dying victim in front of him: she died a few hours later in hospital.
