Femicide Sula, the prosecutor: 'Samson never regretted it, it wasn't a crime of impulse'

"This was not a crime of impulse" and "Samson never regretted what he had done, continuing to think that Ilaria Sula deserved that end". This is what prosecutor Maria Perna stated in the courtroom during the replies at the hearing of the trial for the femicide that occurred in Rome on 25 March 2025.

The prosecutor's office requested a life sentence accusing the accused of voluntary homicide with the aggravating circumstances of premeditation, in addition to those of trivial motives and the emotional relationship with the victim and the concealment of a corpse. The sentence is expected today.

"I still remember that body in the cliff and the conditions in which it was. Samson never told the truth and continued to lie so as not to admit the premeditation of the crime", added the representative of the prosecution.

Sapienza students: 'Ilaria is in our hearts every day'

"The pain you felt cannot be explained, seeing the only thing worth living for taken away: a daughter. But all this pain is not in vain, it is a force that must be transformed into justice, which must make Ilaria's name remembered, which resonates in your and our hearts every day". The Sapienza students wrote this in a letter sent to Ilaria Sula's parents.

"When you have a child the only thing that matters is keeping him safe, holding him in your arms, smelling his perfume, touching those little fingers, promising him that everything will be fine. Ilaria was many things - the letter states - thanks to you everyone knows that she was a splendid, kind, cheerful girl, a good daughter and a diligent student. This is what matters, not the distorted image that society thinks it knows, but your little girl". The University, where Sula was a student, became a civil party in the trial.
