Overview
- Ventimiglia: GIP Massimiliano Botti upheld custody for the 65-year-old and reclassified the charge from attempted femicide to attempted murder, citing the absence of discriminatory hatred or controlling intent.
- The judge noted the husband said he attacked after discovering his wife’s prostitution, a motive deemed insufficient to trigger the femicide provision introduced in December.
- The 44-year-old victim remains hospitalized at Santa Corona in reserved prognosis with spinal trauma and fractures and is awaiting surgery on her spine.

- The Muggiò suspect presented himself at a Carabinieri station with blood-stained clothing, gave spontaneous statements during questioning in Desio, the knife was recovered in the apartment, and the couple’s two-year-old child was in the home and later left with a grandparent.
