Aosta Court Sentences Sohaib Teima to 25 Years for Killing of Auriane Laisne

The punishment is lower than the life term prosecutors sought following a court finding that he was fit to stand trial.

Overview

  • The Corte d’Assise in Aosta issued the 25-year term on Wednesday after finding Teima guilty of murdering 22-year-old Auriane Nathalie Laisne.
  • Prosecutor Manlio D’Ambrosi had asked for life in prison and said the case moved from strong clues to proof during trial.
  • A court-ordered psychiatric review found Teima capable of understanding and willing his actions, which established full criminal responsibility.
  • Police found Laisne on April 5, 2024 inside the abandoned Equilivaz chapel above La Salle with three fatal knife wounds to her neck and abdomen.
  • Before the killing, a no-contact order barred Teima from approaching Laisne, yet a routine stop at the Mont Blanc tunnel showed no ban, and French police later arrested him in Lyon and extradited him to Italy.
