A 34-year-old woman was stabbed to death by her ex-husband in front of her children in Italy. The police arrested the perpetrator while he was on the run.
A 34-year-old woman was fatally injured by her ex-husband in Turin (Italy). The man is said to have stabbed her in the chest during an argument. The former couple’s two children witnessed the crime. Rescue workers took the woman to hospital, where she died shortly afterwards. The man had already attracted attention through violent crimes and was prohibited from approaching his ex-wife. The investigation will clarify why the electronic bracelet that he was required to wear by court order did not work.
The suspected perpetrator, a 48-year-old man, was arrested by the police. After the crime, he left the building and ran into the street, pursued by his 13-year-old son, who asked passers-by to stop his father, according to the Italian news agency Ansa. The couple’s teenage daughter fled to the neighbors, who alerted the police.
The man was arrested by the police a few hundred meters from the crime scene. He was taken into custody. The exact background to the dispute is still unclear. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
