Avellino. Gerardo Limongiello, the elderly husband who killed his wife on the morning of May 5, 2021, by suffocating her with a pillow, recently appealed to the Court of Cassation against the conviction handed down by the Naples Court of Assizes of Appeal in February 2024.
The Neapolitan Court, accepting Limongiello's grounds for appeal, had already reduced the sentence handed down in the first instance by the Avellino Tribunal from 21 years to 14 years of imprisonment for aggravated voluntary homicide.
