A man convicted of murder who had been allowed to work outside prison committed suicide by jumping from the Duomo in Milan today after stabbing another worker, local media reported.
Emanuele De Maria, 35, fell from a height of "tens of meters" by jumping from the Gothic cathedral to the square below.
The area around the Duomo was crowded, but no passersby were injured.
De Maria appeared on Italian television last year to describe what life is like in prison. Police identified him thanks to his tattoos and an identity card was found in his pocket, multiple sources, including the Corriere della Sera newspaper, reported.
The 35-year-old was serving a 14-year prison sentence for the murder of a woman in 2016. For about two years, he had been allowed to work part-time at a hotel near Milan's central train station.
Police had been looking for him since Friday, when he allegedly stabbed a colleague.
