British Man to be Extradited to Italy for Partner's Murder

Michael Whitbread faces trial after allegedly killing Michele Faiers following a dispute.

Michael Whitbread, a 74-year-old British man, is to be extradited to Italy to face trial for the alleged murder of his partner, Michele Faiers, in their Italian home.
The couple had an argument over Faiers' suspicion of Whitbread having an affair, leading to Faiers being found dead with seven knife wounds.
Whitbread drove from Italy to the UK immediately after the incident, covering a distance of 1,300 miles before being arrested.
The extradition was ordered by Westminster magistrates’ court in London, with Whitbread having seven days to appeal the decision.
Authorities emphasize the need for a fair trial in Italy, urging against speculation that may affect the case.
