Former UConn student receives 55-year sentence for murder and kidnapping.

Former University of Connecticut student, Peter Manfredonia, was sentenced to 55 years for murdering Nicholas Eisele and 25 years for kidnapping Eisele's girlfriend. The sentences will be served concurrently. Manfredonia went on a deadly crime spree in May 2020, killing two people and kidnapping Eisele's girlfriend. He was arrested after six days on the run and confessed to the crimes. Eisele's family and girlfriend gave emotional statements in court, and Manfredonia apologized for his actions. He will be sentenced on murder, assault, and home invasion charges for the Willington part of the case on Thursday.
