15-year-old boy sentenced to 16 years for killing mother in Catania

The 16-year-old who confessed to the murder of his 32-year-old mother, Valentina Giunta, has had his appeal declared inadmissible by the Court of Cassation. The execution of the sentence has been notified to his lawyer, Francesco Giammona, and the minor is already detained. The conviction for aggravated murder was issued by the Court of Appeal for minors in Catania on May 26, 2023, and confirmed the first-degree sentence. The minor confessed to the crime during the hearing for the validation of his arrest, and the prosecution emphasized the serious circumstantial evidence against him. They argued that the murder was related to the mother’s decision to leave their home, leading to a family dispute.
