Gianfranco Stevanin height - How tall is Gianfranco Stevanin?

On September 1, 2010, he told the press that he did not remember anything about his murders and also affirmed his desire to become a Franciscan lay brother because of his mother's death, thus emulating another case that occurred seventy years ago, when Alessandro Serenelli, murderer of Maria Goretti, also became a Franciscan while in prison.

The final sentence was announced on March 23, 2001: the Appellate Court of Venice declared that Gianfranco Stevanin was capable of understanding his crimes, which is why his sentence was automatically confirmed to life imprisonment. The Court of Cassation confirmed the sentence, rejecting the defense's demands.

The first section of the Court of Cassation of Rome then canceled the sentence by "illogical motivation", referring to a new section of appeal reviewing of the case. In December 2000, while he was locked up in a mental asylum, Stevanin was seriously injured in the neck with a razor bite inflicted by another non-European prisoner.

In January 1999, Stevanin sold his house and all the land he owned to partially compensate the families of the victims. On July 7, the Appellate Court of Venice absolved the accused of murder charges because he was incapable of understanding his actions and resentenced him to 10.5 years for concealment and mutilation of a corpse.

Stevanin showed at the sessions with a shaved head, to show well the evident scar that according to the defense is at the base of everything. The first sentence by the Court of Assizes of Verona, on January 29, 1998, condemned Gianfranco Stevanin to life imprisonment, of which 3 years in total daytime isolation.

In September 24, 1996 (after the partial confession of Stevanin), another unidentified body was found in the Adige. After a DNA test, the body was recognized as that of Blazenca Smolijo.

On July 19, 1996, Stevanin decided to confess and claimed to have dismembered the bodies of four women, but that their murders weren't premeditated, as they had died during extreme sexual relations, or, in the case of Pulejo, due a heroin overdose. Regarding the unidentified corpse, he stated that she was a student whose name and face he did not remember, saying he had met her only three or four times. Stevanin later claimed that he acted without knowing what he was doing, as if his actions were just dreams.

On July 3, 1995, a farmer from Terrazzo found a sack containing the remains of a corpse in a plot near Stevanin's house. Gianfranco became a murder suspect, and the magistrate sent some bulldozers to look for other bodies.

On November 12, 1995, the body of another woman was found; this time the body was also found in a sack, but on this occasion the discovery took place in a land owned by Stevanin, with the DNA test unequivocally showing that the body was that of Biljana Pavlovic. On December 1, 1995, a third body was found, that of Claudia Pulejo.

On November 16, 1994, in Vicenza, Stevanin picked up a prostitute named Gabriele Musger in his Volvo 240, offering her money to have sex and take pictures of her. After several hours of extreme sexual games, the prostitute tried to escape through the window of a bathroom and later refused to take other pictures, resulting in being threatened with a knife by Stevanin. To save her life, she offered Gianfranco all her savings (about 25 million lires) if he let her go, and the maniac accepted; however, the money was at Musger's house and then the two got into his car to go get it. At toll booth at Vicenza, Stevanin stopped to pay the toll, and at that moment the prostitute managed to get out of the car, go to a police car and report her client for sexual violence. The police arrested him for sexual assault, extortion, and possession of a toy gun without the regular red cap. Following this event, he was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months imprisonment.

Another murder attributed to Stevanin is that of Roswita Adlassing, seen for the last time in his company, but her body was never found. She would be his sixth victim. The murder was committed in May 1993.
