Milan, Italy

A convicted murderer permitted to work outside prison threw himself from Milan's famed Duomo cathedral on Sunday, killing himself, after allegedly stabbing a colleague.

ANSA news agency and other outlets reported said the Italian man, whom they identified as Emanuele De Maria, 35, fell "dozens of meters" after reportedly throwing himself from the Gothic cathedral into the square below. News reports did not cite any injuries among passersby.

In 2016, Emanuele fatally stabbed a 23-year-old Tunisian woman. He was arrested in Germany in 2018 after hiding as a fugitive in the Netherlands, and was sentenced to fourteen years, but for nearly two years he had been working part-time at a hotel near Milan's central train station.

Police had been searching for him since Friday, when he allegedly stabbed a work colleague. The condition of that man, identified as a 50-year-old Italian-Egyptian, was improving Sunday after emergency surgery on his neck and chest.

The last person to be seen with Emanuele - a 50-year-old woman of Sinhalese origin, Chamila W. - was reported missing around the same time Emanuele stabbed his colleague. Her body was found in an isolated area of the Parco Nord, around a kilometre from when she was last seen alive with Emanuele. Her cause of death is not certain.

Should have brought a pizza dough for a parachute.

And his blood is ragu brand tomato sauce
