The supreme Court of Cassation on
Friday ordered a fresh appeals trial for a Turin-area man who
was acquitted at first instance and sentenced to six years on
appeal for killing his violent father while defending his
mother, a long-time victim of domestic abuse, at Collegno near
Turin in April 2020.
Alex Pompa, now 22, was acquitted in first instance for
self-defence and sentenced on 13 December 2023 by the Court of
Appeal of Turin to six years and two months imprisonment.
The high court judges have now granted the request of the public
prosecutor's office.
Giuseppe Pompa, a 52-year-old factory worker, was killed with 34
stabd wounds after a heated row in the family home on the
evening of April 30, 2020, when Alex was 18.
