Danilo Restivo (born April 1972) is an Italian man serving a life term sentence in Britain for the 12 November 2002 murder of Heather Barnett in Bournemouth, England. Investigators suspected Restivo had murdered Barnett because of his involvement in the 12 September 1993 disappearance of Elisa Claps in Italy, but they were unable to charge him because of lack of evidence. Subsequent to the 2010 discovery of Claps’s body, Restivo was tried for the murder of Barnett, with evidence of similarities in ritualistic placing of hair on the bodies of Claps and Barnett being heard by the English court. He was found guilty of murdering Barnett,and later convicted in absentia of the murder of Claps by an Italian court.Some believe Restivo committed the 12 July 2002 murder of a Korean woman, Jong Ok-Shin, for which another man was convicted.[/learn_more]
