According to sources at the Foggia prosecutor's office, the ex-partner of the 46-year-old woman stabbed to death last night had been under a restraining order since last May, when the woman reported him, prohibiting him from approaching her with an electronic bracelet, but this was not applied due to technical problems .

The measure was aggravated in July with the issuance of a precautionary detention order, which has not yet been executed because the man, a Moroccan legally resident in Italy, is homeless and therefore untraceable . The prosecutor's office has announced that all necessary steps to protect the woman have been taken. According to prosecutor's sources, the man, currently being sought by investigators from the Flying Squad, has not yet been located, but his movements have been reported outside the province of Foggia .

Last night, yet another femicide occurred. The victim, a 46-year-old Moroccan woman living in the Apulian city, a restaurant cook , was stabbed to death a few meters from her home in the city center. The two had been in a relationship for a few months . According to the reconstruction, the woman had turned to the anti-violence center "Telefono donna" (part of the Impegno donna association) last April for help, explaining that her ex-partner, who had already been violent during their relationship—the reason he had ended it—had been harassing her, following her, and threatening her . The center's workers convinced her to report him.

This happened last May, even though the woman, despite the urging of the center's workers to leave Foggia and seek refuge in a protected facility or with a relative, refused to leave the city. Furthermore, on June 16, the anti-violence center sent law enforcement a high-risk assessment with possible femicide .
