Stella Boggio Gets 21 Years for Partner’s Killing as She Is Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt

The court ruled she could have avoided lethal force despite evidence of a turbulent, mutually violent relationship.

Overview

  • The Corte d'Assise di Monza on February 4 sentenced the 34-year-old to 21 years for killing Marco Magagna, exceeding the 14-year term sought by the prosecutor.
  • Judges deemed generic mitigating factors equal to the aggravation tied to the intimate relationship, resulting in a harsher sentence than requested.
  • The court ordered roughly €596,000 in provisional compensation to the victim’s family and left Boggio’s parental authority in place.
  • Following the verdict, Boggio ingested pills at her parents’ home in Limbiate and was hospitalized in Garbagnate Milanese, where she is reported out of danger; Carabinieri were notified.
  • The defense maintained she acted in self-defense during a late-night fight in Bovisio Masciago, while the prosecution argued she could have left or called for help instead of delivering a single fatal stab with a kitchen knife.
