Riccardo C.

Riccardo C. is an 18-year-old who gained notoriety for the tragic murder of his family in Paderno Dugnano, Italy, during the night between August 31 and September 1. He killed his mother, father, and 12-year-old brother with 108 stab wounds. A psychiatric evaluation concluded that at the time of the crime, he was partially unable to understand his actions, as he was trapped between reality and a fantasy world where he believed he could achieve 'immortality' by severing ties with his family. His case is currently under judicial review, with debates surrounding his mental capacity influencing the potential outcomes of his trial.
