Stabbed his ex-wife and fled with his son: arrested in Torvaianica

A 47-year-old man from Rome was arrested after he stabbed his ex-wife in the chest four times at their home in Fontana Candida, Rome. He then took her to the hospital before fleeing with their teenage son. The attack occurred during a visit by the ex-wife to retrieve personal belongings. According to medical reports, the wounds were not fatal due to 'fortuitous circumstances.' The victim later reported past instances of domestic violence involving their children. Police searched for the suspect for seven hours before locating him in Torvaianica. His car, which had been tampered with to avoid detection, was found there. Inside the vehicle, investigators discovered clothing and medication likely collected before the escape. The knife used in the attack was found at the crime scene and seized. The man was placed under judicial custody for attempted femicide.

A man in Rome has been arrested after allegedly stabbing his ex-wife multiple times in the chest in front of their teenage son before fleeing with the boy. The suspect, a 47-year-old Roman, was apprehended seven hours after the incident following a search operation by police. According to medical staff at the emergency room, the four stab wounds inflicted on the woman were not fatal by chance. The attack occurred in an apartment in Fontana Candida, a southern area of Rome, where the victim had gone to retrieve her belongings. The woman reportedly entered the apartment where her former husband lived and was verbally assaulted before being attacked with a knife. She was struck four times in the chest. After realizing he had seriously injured his ex-wife, the man drove her to the hospital with their adolescent son, who had witnessed the assault. Once she received initial treatment, he fled with the boy in the same vehicle. Police began searching for him immediately after the woman regained consciousness and recounted the violence she had endured, including previous incidents involving their children. Investigators noted that the man had tampered with the GPS device on his car, which was later found near Torvajanica on the Roman coast. Authorities conducted a raid shortly thereafter, finding the suspect and his son returning to the vehicle. Inside, they discovered a suitcase containing clothing and a drawer with medications likely gathered from his last residence. At the scene of the attack, authorities recovered a bloodstained knife. The man was placed under house arrest for attempted murder and later transferred to prison following judicial approval. In a separate incident in Udine, a woman was killed by her partner during a violent argument in their home in San Giovanni al Natisone. Neighbors called emergency services after hearing screams coming from the apartment. Upon arrival, the police found the man still inside the house and arrested him. The victim, identified as Chinese, was discovered on the floor with a severe wound to her throat. Emergency responders arrived but could not save her life. Carabinieri secured the area and initiated technical investigations to determine the exact sequence of events leading to the death. Local residents indicated that there had been prior instances of domestic violence between the couple. Another account detailed the tragic event in San Giovanni al Natisone, where the Chinese woman was fatally stabbed by her husband during a heated argument in their home. The altercation escalated quickly, prompting the woman to scream for help. Neighbors, upon hearing the commotion, contacted emergency services. However, by the time the carabinieri arrived, the woman was already dead. She was found lying on the ground with a deep cut to her throat. Her husband, also Chinese, was arrested at the scene. He owns a well-known upholstery business in the town. Emergency personnel, including an ambulance and helicopter, responded to the call but were unable to provide assistance. Residents mentioned that the house had previously been the site of another violent confrontation between the couple several years earlier. Authorities in both cases have launched investigations into the circumstances surrounding the attacks. In Rome, the focus is on understanding the motivations behind the alleged attempt on the ex-wife's life and whether there were prior threats or incidents. In Udine, investigators aim to reconstruct the events leading to the woman’s death, considering the history of domestic disputes in the household. Both incidents highlight the ongoing issue of domestic violence and the need for continued efforts to address such crimes. The outcomes of these investigations will determine the legal consequences faced by the individuals involved.
