The judges of the Court of Assizes of Appeal of Lecce have confirmed the life sentence for Antonio De Marco, the 23-year-old student from Casarano who confessed to the murder of the referee from Lecce Daniel De Santis and his girlfriend Eleonora Manta.
The two were massacred on the evening of September 21, 2020 with 79 stab wounds - 'because they were happy' - as the murderer himself revealed after his arrest.
The double homicide took place in the house on Via Montello, in Lecce, where on the same day the two fiancés had gone to live together alone and which they had shared with their murderer for months.
"Today I am a little happier. No one will be able to give me my daughter back, but today Daniele and Eleonora have had justice." This is how Eleonora Manta's mother, Rossana Carpentieri, welcomed in court the sentence that confirmed on appeal the life sentence for Antonio De Marco, the 23-year-old student from Casarano who confessed to the murder of the referee from Lecce Daniele De Santis and his girlfriend Eleonora Manta.
The two were massacred on the evening of September 21, 2020 with 79 stab wounds – in their home in Lecce.
