A new hearing will be held on appeal to assess the existence of intent. This is the decision of the Supreme Court of Appeals, which came in the evening and annulled, with an appeal, the sentence of 24 years and two months given to 36-year-old Marco Eletti for the intentional murder of his father and attempted murder. Death of his mother on February 24, 2021, in San Martino, in the Reggio Emilia region of Rio. Marco Eletti, a former contestant on Rai 1’s ‘L’Eredità’, who confessed to the crime, was convicted in both the first and second degrees for killing his 58-year-old father Paolo with a hammer in the family’s home. On the same day, he attempted to kill his mother, Sabrina Guidetti, who was found drugged and with her wrists cut next to her husband’s body. Aggravating factors disputed by the prosecution included his parental relationship with the victim; however, this was dismissed at a preliminary hearing after DNA revealed that Paolo was not Marco’s biological father. Allegedly, the motive was connected with the revelation of the father’s double life tied to another gender identity, as well as the emergence of issues regarding the family home, which the mother and father did not want to part with, but wanted to immediately inherit for the son. . Although the bill was accepted by both Reggio Emilia judges and appellate judges, it was always rejected by the defense. Defense lawyers Domenico Noris Bucchi and Luigi Scarcella reiterated even before the Supreme Court that only the attack on the mother, not the attack on the father, was planned and that the crime resulted from an impulsive act.
