A man who set his heavily
pregnant girlfriend on fire was on Wednesday, November 23, sentenced to 18 years
in prison.
Prosecutors had requested a 15-year sentence against Paolo
Pietropaolo, 40, who set 38-year-old Carla Ilenia Caiazzo, alight
on February 1, 2016 while she was eight months pregnant.
The incident
took place in the street in front of the couple's home in the town of
Pozzuoli, near Naples.
Pietropaolos
was arrested same day at Formia, between Naples and Rome, where he had a
car accident subsequently told prosecutors he could have
killed her, but wanted to ruin her face instead because she was
beautiful.
"I had no intention of killing Carla... after setting her on fire I could have run her over and I didn't," Pietropaolo said. "I wanted to disfigure her because she is a very beautiful girl"
Caiazzo sustained third-degree burns to her face and upper
body and has undergone 21 surgeries since the attack.
Doctors managed to deliver her premature baby - now a healthy nine-month-old girl - after a neighbor rescued Caiazzo
by putting out the flames while Pietropaolo fled the scene.
