Ritual killer guilty of girl murder in Italy

An Italian court has convicted a man with a fetish for cutting off women’s hair of the 1993 murder of a teenager, months after he received a life sentence in Britain for a similarly gruesome murder.

The court in Salerno near Naples sentenced Danilo Restivo, who was tried in absentia, to 30 years in prison for the death of 16-year-old Elisa Claps, whose decomposed body was found last year on the roof of a church where she was last seen 18 years ago.
