A 74-year-old Modena man who killed his 72-year-old terminally ill wife at Vignola in April 2021 on Thursday got a relatively light jail term of six years and two months after judges factored in the "moral value and altruism" of the mercy killing .
Franco Cioni's "selfless" decision to end the suffering of LauraAmidei "reflects the common feeling of ever larger swathes of society", said the judge in the Emilian city.
