"Impagnatiello wanted to kill Giulia months before". That's why the Supreme Court asked to re-evaluate the premeditation

The Italian Supreme Court has ordered a retrial in the case of Alessandro Impagnatiello, who is accused of murdering his pregnant partner Giulia Tramontano. The court found that previous judgments failed to adequately consider evidence suggesting that Impagnatiello had planned the murder months in advance. Specifically, the court highlighted that there was insufficient analysis of the increased administration of rat poison during the last month and a half of Tramontano's pregnancy. Additionally, searches made by Impagnatiello online in January 2023, including queries about how much rat poison is needed to kill a person, were not sufficiently addressed in prior rulings. These factors could indicate that the intent to kill arose earlier than previously assumed, rather than just in the afternoon of May 27, 2023, when the victim discovered Impagnatiello's affair. The new trial will reassess whether the crime was premeditated, which would affect the legal classification but not the sentence of life imprisonment.

Femminicidio Tramontano, the Supreme Court: "Impagnatiello wanted to kill months before" There will be a second appeal for premeditation

The Italian Supreme Court (Cassazione) has ruled that there is evidence suggesting Alessandro Impagnatiello had already decided to kill his pregnant partner, Giulia Tramontano, several months before her murder on May 27, 2023. This decision overturns previous rulings that dismissed the aggravating factor of premeditation. The court highlighted that Impagnatiello began poisoning Tramontano with rat poison in December 2022, increasing the dosage significantly in the last month and a half prior to the killing. The Cassazione criticized lower courts for failing to consider this escalation as critical evidence. A new trial will now assess whether premeditation can be formally recognized in the sentencing of Impagnatiello, who remains under an existing life sentence.
