He would have beaten and forced her partner to have intercourse against her will. And armed with a large kitchen knife, he would once even threaten her by claiming to "slaughter her like a pig." These are the accusations contested by the Catania Public Prosecutor's Office against a 37-year-old from the province who was arrested by carabinieri of the provincial command for mistreatment in the family, sexual violence and robbery.

The soldiers of the Arma have carried out a precautionary custody order in prison against him.

The woman was also attacked in the presence of her child, a minor, born of a previous relationship.

The investigations were initiated after mother and son managed to escape a violent attack by the man who hit the partner by hitting her on the head with a mobile phone and then continuing to beat her with kicks and slaps. Treated in the Cannizzaro emergency room, she was diagnosed with a "blunt trauma to her right hand and a minor head injury with blunt force with three small lacerated bruised wounds".

Many of the assaults and sexual violence suffered, the woman complained, silent for fear of retaliation against her son, would have resulted when she complained of "libertine relationships".

After the latest case of infidelity, and the woman's accusations, he allegedly forced her to undergo five sexual intercourse by force and under threat of death.
