Novi Ligure Murder
The Novi Ligure murder was a double murder that took place on the evening of 21 February 2001 in Novi Ligure, Piedmont, Italy. Incident Susanna Cassini, a 41-year-old accountant, and her 11-year-old son Gianluca were both stabbed (in total 97 times) in their home while the husband and father, Francesco De Nardo, a 45-year-old manager at the Pernigotti chocolate factory, was playing football with some friends. Had he been home at the time, Francesco would also have died, as the teenage killers had planned to murder him as well. The daughter of the family, 16-year-old Erika De Nardo, originally claimed that the murder was committed by foreign workers in an attempted robbery. Because of her claims, a young Albanian man was detained for a short time. However, the accounts of the incident given by Erika and her 17-year-old boyfriend, Mauro "Omar" Favaro, were full of contradictions. The investigators found that no door or window in the house showed signs of having been forced open a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
