ELIZABETHTOWN — The trial of a man accused of killing his nine-year-old daughter last summer during a trip to New York is entering its fourth week.
Luciano Frattolin is on trial in Elizabethtown, N.Y., facing charges of second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse in the death of Montreal resident Melina Frattolin.
The 46-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to both charges and has been held without bail since his arrest in July 2025.
The prosecution wrapped up its case last week with a five-hour video recreating the route Frattolin may have taken in the hours before he reported Melina missing.
