一名美国法官预计将于周三对卢西亚诺·弗拉托林宣判。这名蒙特利尔男子于8月被裁定二级谋杀其九岁女儿梅丽娜罪名成立。陪审团还裁定弗拉托林隐瞒尸体罪名成立。
A U.S. judge is expected to hand down a sentence Wednesday for Luciano Frattolin, a Montreal man who was found guilty in August of the second-degree murder of his nine-year-old daughter, Melina. The jury also convicted Frattolin of concealment of a human corpse.
仅二级谋杀指控的最低刑期即为15年至终身监禁，最高刑期为终身监禁。
The minimum sentence for the second-degree murder charge alone is 15 years to life, while the maximum is life imprisonment.
弗拉托林和梅丽娜当时正在结束为期一周的美国之行，前者于2025年7月19日报称女儿失踪。
Frattolin and Melina were wrapping up a weeklong trip in the United States when the former reported her missing on July 19, 2025.
次日，她的遗体在纽约州提康德罗加附近的一片沼泽中被发现，该地距纽约市以北约400公里。尸检认定她死于溺水导致的窒息。
Her body was found the next day in a marsh near Ticonderoga, N.Y., about 400 kilometres north of New York City. The autopsy found she died from asphyxia due to drowning.
弗拉托林最初报称两名男子绑架了梅丽娜，但不久后他便因谋杀她而被捕。
Frattolin initially reported that two men had kidnapped Melina, but he was arrested shortly after for her murder.
在审判前，他未被准予保释，被羁押了将近一年。审判于夏季在纽约州伊丽莎白敦的埃塞克斯县法院进行，历时三周。
He was held without bail for just under a year until his trial, which unfolded over three weeks in the summer at the Essex County Courthouse in Elizabethtown, N.Y.
