A Harris County murder suspect's extradition has been put on hold. Italian judges are seeking assurances that the suspect will not face the death penalty. The case involves a 39-year-old man who allegedly killed his pregnant wife.

He had been out on bond but removed his ankle monitor and fled to Italy using false documents. Further details about the case are available from Italian court records. The suspect's actions led to a hearing in Italy, where his extradition is being considered.

The Italian court's decision is a response to concerns about the potential penalty the suspect could face if extradited.
