A court in Italy has sentenced a man to life in prison for killing his wife and son with a rock, according to the Italian news agency ANSA.
The attack took place in Paupisi, a small town near Benevento in the southern Campania region, about a year before the sentencing was handed down. In addition to the two fatalities, the couple's 17-year-old daughter was also injured in the assault, ANSA reported.
Details of the trial, including the specific circumstances that led to the verdict and any related charges, were not included beyond ANSA's report of the sentencing.
Life sentences of this kind are reserved in the Italian justice system for the most serious violent crimes, typically involving aggravating factors such as the killing of multiple family members.
ANSA did not report any planned appeal at the time of publication.
