## Resource

The trial for Luciano Frattolin begins today as he faces charges of second-degree murder and hiding a body for the death of his nine-year-old daughter, Melina, in 2025. Despite claiming she was abducted, investigators uncovered inconsistencies — Melina lived in Montreal, and her body was found in upstate New York. Prosecutors allege Frattolin drowned her, while he insists he’s innocent. Opening statements are set to unfold this morning, as the legal battle to uncover the truth about Melina’s tragic death officially kicks off.
