Forio d'Ischia. A Christmas Eve no one will forget. In a quiet alley in Forio d'Ischia, shortly before midnight, a scene of unprecedented violence shocked the community. A 42-year-old woman, her face swollen and her body bruised by blows, managed to escape her partner's attack and call the police for help.
The victim, terrified and injured, told officers she had been repeatedly beaten inside her home. The man, a 46-year-old, allegedly threatened to kill her, brandishing a broken bottle and shouting, "I'll cut your head off today!"
When the Carabinieri arrived, they found the apartment in a terrible state: overturned furniture, bloodstains on the floor, and a tense atmosphere. The front door was open, and the Carabinieri entered. In the living room, a 46-year-old man was sitting quietly on a chair while the TV was playing a Christmas movie.
There's also a broken beer bottle on the kitchen floor and the remote control for that TV is covered in blood. police they block the man who abruptly interrupts that state of meditation making it difficult to arrest.
A nightmare that repeats itself
The situation returns to normal and this allows us to reconstruct the abuse and aggression that the woman suffered.

Today is the epilogue of a love story that could have ended in tragedy. He begins to offend her and she decides to leave. She puts on her coat and opens the door but he grabs her and brings her back into the house. He grabs her by the neck, pushes her to the fridge, slaps, punches and in the meantime grabs the shard of a broken bottle.
Now the man is in prison at the disposal of the judicial authorities while the woman, visited by the doctors of the hospital of Lacco Ameno, will fortunately be out for a few days and perhaps will be able to get her life back on track.

This story is really sad and makes you think about how dangerous domestic violence can be. Women should be encouraged to speak up and ask for help, because no one should have to endure such ugliness in their lives.
