VENICE: A student who admitted murdering his ex-girlfriend in a brutal case that sparked outrage and soul searching in Italy was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday.
Prosecutors had requested Italy´s harshest penalty for Filippo Turetta, 22, over the killing of Giulia Cecchettin in November last year, just days before she was due to graduate from the University of Padua.
Cecchettin, also 22, was stabbed at least 75 times in a shocking murder that prompted protests over violence against women across Italy.
