Court Experts Find Rufina Killing Suspect Unfit for Trial as Proceedings Are Suspended

The court report cites post‑traumatic amnesia with frontal lobe injury, calling for 12 months of neurorehabilitation before re‑evaluation.

Overview

  • Court‑appointed psychiatrists and neurologists say Lorenzo Innocenti currently has amnesia, language deficits and impaired reasoning from a traumatic brain injury and is not socially dangerous in this state.
  • The defendant will not be present at the March 25 hearing, which will address the expert report, and the criminal case remains on hold pending rehabilitation and reassessment.
  • Innocenti is hospitalized at Ponte a Niccheri without custodial restrictions and is awaiting placement in a specialist rehab facility in line with the experts’ recommendations.
  • Prosecutors say Innocenti is accused of fatally stabbing his partner, Eleonora Guidi, 24 times on February 8, 2025, in their Rufina home in the presence of their young child before attempting suicide by jumping from a terrace.
  • Guidi’s family and their consultants dispute the periti’s conclusions, describe Innocenti as extremely dangerous, and protest the lack of asset seizure for the child and the absence of formalized custody.
