Filippo Turetta was convicted of murdering Giulia Cecchettin, a 22-year-old woman who was stabbed more than 70 times and left in a ditch. Turetta, who was 21 at the time of the murder, admitted to planning the killing. The case drew widespread attention in Italy, contributing to a growing national concern over violence against women.
