A priest who was said to be having an affair has been accused of stabbing his alleged lover's husband to death.

Father Giorgio Panini, 57, was charged as police probed the killing of retired banker Sergio Manfredini, whose wife and son were also injured.

Panini had lived as a lodger in Mr Manfredini's home in Vignola, Italy, for 30 years and was rumoured to have had an affair with Mrs Manfredini, 67.

An autopsy revealed Mr Manfredini, also 67, died after being stabbed 20 times on Christmas Eve. Panini, also injured, is under guard in hospital. But his lawyer denied any affair, saying: "There was nothing passionate going on between them - they'd known each other for years."
