罗马,10月26日电 意大利检方周一为一名涉嫌谋杀其伴侣及两人13个月大女儿的美国公民请求判处无期徒刑,两名受害者的遗体去年在罗马市中心一公园被发现。
ROME, Oct 26 - An Italian prosecutor requested a life sentence on Monday for a US citizen accused of murdering his partner and their 13-month-old daughter, whose bodies were discovered last year in a park in central Rome.
嫌疑人被确认为弗朗西斯·考夫曼,于2025年6月13日在希腊斯基亚索斯岛被捕,此前一周两具遗体在潘菲利别墅公园被发现,警方依据证人证言和监控录像等证据将其锁定。
The suspect, identified as Francis Kaufmann, was arrested on the Greek island of Skiathos on June 13, 2025, a week after the two bodies were found in Villa Pamphili, based on evidence including witness testimony and surveillance footage.
考夫曼还曾使用雷克萨尔·福德这一化名,正因双重杀人罪受审。检察官安东尼奥·韦尔迪请求法院判处其无期徒刑,并附加三年白昼单独监禁。
Kaufmann, who also used the alias Rexal Ford, is on trial for double homicide. Prosecutor Antonio Verdi asked the court to sentence him to life imprisonment, with three years of daytime solitary confinement.
检方将考夫曼描述为善于操纵且自恋,但未说明调查人员认定的作案动机。
The prosecutor described Kaufmann as manipulative and narcissistic but did not explain what motive investigators believed lay behind the killings.
考夫曼的律师未立即回应置评请求。审判期间,目前羁押于罗马监狱的考夫曼坚称无罪。
A lawyer for Kaufmann did not immediately respond to a request for comment. During the trial, Kaufmann — who is being held in a Rome jail — maintained his innocence.
一审判决预计于11月5日宣读。根据意大利法律,被告有权进行两级上诉。
A first-instance verdict is expected on November 5. Under Italian law, defendants are entitled to two levels of appeal.
