Luciano Frattolin, 46, the founder of organic coffee brand Gambella, is convicted of murdering his nine-year-old daughter, Melina, and hiding her body. The case involves the death of Melina during a trip across the northeastern United States last year.
According to court reporting, Frattolin drowned Melina in a shallow swamp, then concealed her remains. The outlets describe the act as being linked to revenge against his ex-wife, and they say the jury reached a conviction on Monday.
While the outlets emphasize similar core details—Frattolin’s conviction, the drowning of his daughter in a swamp, and the concealment of the body—they present the same alleged motive in slightly different wording. Across the reports, the focus remains on the court’s findings about what happened during the trip and Frattolin’s role in Melina’s death.
