LOS ANGELES, CA – A Los Angeles jury has found Monica Sementilli guilty of orchestrating the murder of her husband, Fabio Sementilli, a renowned celebrity hairstylist, in their Woodland Hills home. The verdict, reached after a ten-week trial, concluded in just eight hours of deliberation, revealing the chilling details behind the tragic event that unfolded over eight years ago.
Monica Sementilli was convicted of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, accused of manipulating her lover, Robert Baker, into carrying out the fatal stabbing of Fabio in January 2017. Baker, who had already confessed to the crime and pled guilty in a separate proceeding, was said to have fled the scene in Fabio’s luxury car.
Fabio’s sister expressed a sense of relief and justice following the verdict. “It’s the most beautiful day for our family,” she said, her voice a mix of sadness and satisfaction. “Our spirits are lifted, and my brother can now rest in peace.”
The case captured significant public interest due to Fabio’s prominence in the hairstyling industry. Known for his talent and charisma, Fabio had touched many lives, both personally and professionally. In an interview two years before his untimely death, he spoke about the importance of family and the legacy he hoped to leave behind—one of positive relationships and meaningful connections.
Monica’s conviction cements her role as the mastermind behind the violent plot, a revelation that has left Fabio’s family grappling with the betrayal from within their own ranks. “The evilness of this woman is beyond comprehension,” Fabio’s sister remarked, emphasizing the emotional toll the trial has taken on the family.
Fabio was a father of two, and his loss has left a void that his family continues to feel deeply. They now hope that Monica will face the full consequences of her actions and spend the rest of her life in prison. Her sentencing is set for June 23, where the possibility of life without parole looms large.
As the family reflects on this arduous journey to justice, they hold onto the memory of Fabio’s warmth and kindness, hoping that his legacy will endure beyond the shadow cast by his tragic death.
