Volla– Night of terror in Volla for a woman of Moldavian origins, victim of a brutal attack by her partner. The man, a 59-year-old Ghanaian, allegedly hit her with a kitchen knife at the height of an argument that broke out in the home they shared.
The Carabinieri of the Cercola station stopped the man's rampage after they intervened following a report from some passers-by who were alarmed by the screams coming from the apartment.
When the military arrived, the scene appeared dramatic: the woman, in shock, had bruises, cuts and stab wounds on several parts of her body. The man, clearly agitated, reacted by pushing the police in an attempt to escape. After a long chase on foot through the streets of the town, he was stopped and arrested.
During the search, a kitchen knife still stained with blood was found on the 59-year-old. In the house, the military then seized a second knife and a cleaver. The woman was immediately rescued and transported to the emergency room of the “Del Mare” hospital in Naples. Her condition is serious but her life is not in danger.
Once at the police station, the victim found the courage to recount months of abuse, physical and psychological violence . She also reported being repeatedly forced to have sexual intercourse against her will. This horrifying account led to the man being charged with numerous crimes.
The 59-year-old, an illegal immigrant, is now detained in the Naples-Poggioreale prison. The charges against him are serious: sexual violence, mistreatment in the family, aggravated personal injury, resisting a public official, illegal possession of weapons and violation of immigration laws. The investigations continue to clarify any further responsibilities and to ascertain whether the victim had ever filed a complaint in the past.
It is a very sad and worrying situation, it seems that the violence is increasing more and more, I do not understand how it can come to such brutal acts. Let's hope that the woman can recover and that justice is done.
