Attempted femicide in Padua .

A 52-year-old woman was stabbed in her home by her former partner .

The man, according to what has been reconstructed, hit her in the back and then left her there, in agony, running away. A few hours later he was stopped by the Carabinieri .

The incident took place in an apartment in the Arcella district, where it seems that the two had lived together for a few months. Taken to the hospital and subjected to an emergency operation, the 52-year-old was declared out of danger .

The attacker, a 50-year-old from Verona , had already been convicted of murder in 1999 : he had killed another woman with whom he had lived. Not only that, he would also have had persecutory behavior towards a third victim. Even then, she did not accept the end of the relationship.
