Liridon Berisa Sentenced to Life in Prison for 2021 Feminicide in Hayange

The 26-year-old was handed the maximum sentence with a 22-year minimum term for the brutal murder of his partner, Stéphanie Di Vincenzo, in front of their child.

Liridon Berisa, 26, was convicted of murdering his partner, Stéphanie Di Vincenzo, in May 2021, and sentenced to life imprisonment with a 22-year minimum term.
The crime occurred in Hayange, France, where Berisa stabbed Di Vincenzo multiple times in public, witnessed by neighbors and their 3-year-old daughter.
The case highlighted systemic failures, including a closed police station near the scene and a prior complaint by the victim that was not forwarded to prosecutors.
Berisa had removed his electronic monitoring bracelet the day before the murder, but no alarm was triggered due to a technical malfunction.
The trial was marked by Berisa's disruptive behavior, including threats and insults, leading to his removal from the courtroom multiple times.
