A Loudoun County, Virginia, man who beat his estranged wife to death with a hammer in 2021 was sentenced Thursday to spend the next 42 years in prison.
Peter Lollobrigido pleaded guilty earlier this year to killing Regina Redman, who was a substitute teacher and the mother of a teenage boy. She was 44.
Lollobrigido, 52, refused to go to court on Friday. The judge rejected his attorneys’ request for a delay and ordered deputies to bring the convicted killer to the courtroom.
When Lollobrigido got into Redman’s apartment in Sterling and beat her with a hammer, he was wearing a GPS monitor and had a protective order against him.
