Father receives life sentence in New York for murder of Montreal girl
Judge Tatiana Coffinger rejected a bid to overturn the verdict, and Frattolin will not be eligible for parole for 25 years.
- A Montreal man was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday for killing his nine-year-old daughter, Melina Frattolin, whose body was discovered in a rural New York marsh.
- The sentence follows an August 10 conviction in Essex County Court, where a jury found Luciano Frattolin guilty of second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse.
- Judge Tatiana Coffinger delivered the life sentence after rejecting a motion to set aside the guilty verdict, with Frattolin ineligible for parole for at least 25 years.
- Following the sentencing, the defence issued a formal notice of appeal to challenge the guilty verdict and contest the court's decision.
- The legal process began in Elizabethtown, New York, on July 24, 2026, when authorities took Frattolin into custody regarding his daughter's death.
