Life imprisonment for double murder at Villa Pamphili
According to tg24.sky.it, the Court of Assise in Rome has handed down a sentence of life imprisonment with solitary confinement during daytime hours for three years against Francis Kaufmann, an American citizen responsible for the murder of his partner Anastasia Trofimova and daughter Andromeda. The two women were found dead on 7 June 2024 at Villa Pamphili in the capital.
The public prosecutors had charged Kaufmann with the double murder aggravated by futile and abject motives, diminished defence capacity, affective relationship with his partner and kinship to his daughter, as well as concealment of a corpse. After the crimes, Kaufmann fled to Greece.
During the prosecution's closing arguments, the magistrate characterised the defendant as "cold, lucid, manipulative, pathological narcissist". The magistrate also criticised the officers who had stopped him drunk in the street with his daughter before the crime, arguing that "if they had done their job properly perhaps the child would still be alive".
The trial had been suspended in May by order of the Court, which had ordered a pharmaceutical treatment programme for the defendant. It resumed after just over a month when the judges deemed Kaufmann's psychophysical state compatible with imprisonment. In October, the magistrates rejected the defence's final application, which had requested a new assessment of the defendant's mental capacity and will.
