A court in Rome sentenced American citizen Francis Kaufmann to life in prison for the June 2025 murders of his partner, Anastasia Trofimova, and their infant daughter, Andromeda.

The naked bodies of Trofimova and her nearly one-year-old child were discovered days apart in Rome's Villa Pamphili park.

Prosecutors presented CCTV footage showing Kaufmann walking toward the park carrying his daughter and returning an hour later without her.

Kaufmann fled to the Greek island of Skiathos following the double murder before being extradited back to Italy.

Defense attorney Paolo Foti argued against the conviction, maintaining that the trial was based entirely on circumstantial evidence.
