Overview
- The attack took place on the night of Wednesday, November 4, when investigators say a 35-year-old man stabbed his partner repeatedly after a violent argument in a peripheral area of Vicenza.
- The injured woman reached the emergency room despite severe wounds, gave testimony to police with her son present, and remains hospitalized with permanent facial injuries and a fractured temporal bone in prognosi riservata.
- Officers from the Squadra mobile reconstructed the suspect’s movements by cross-checking surveillance footage with law-enforcement databases and located him the following day in Castelfranco Veneto at an acquaintance’s home.
- The prosecutor ordered the suspect’s detention citing the gravity of the victim’s injuries and a flight risk, and a judge validated that decision and placed him in pre-trial custody in prison.
- Regional Nem-group newspapers first reported the case and the Questura di Vicenza later confirmed the facts; next steps include ongoing investigations, possible formal charges, and upcoming judicial hearings that will determine the case’s course.
