The Court of Assize in Chieti sentenced 70-year-old Antonio Mancini to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife, Cleria Mancini. The killing took place on October 9, 2025, in Lettomanoppello, where the victim was shot twice while walking with a relative and a dog.

Following the shooting, Mancini reportedly admitted to the killing at a family-run bar and engaged in further disruptive behavior, including firing shots at a church bell tower and a friend’s car. After a period of negotiation, he was arrested by Carabinieri. Forensic reports indicated Mancini possessed full mental capacity at the time of the crime. The court also imposed legal interdiction, disqualification from public office, and ordered €250,000 in provisional damages.
