Bari – More bloodshed, yet another woman victimized by the brutality of a man who claimed to love her. In Bisceglie, in the northern Bari area, yet another intolerable femicide has taken place. A 61-year-old man threw his 54-year-old wife from the balcony of their home, before jumping himself.
The two lifeless bodies were found next to each other on the slope leading to the condominium garage. Carabinieri officers are currently investigating the scene to reconstruct every detail of the murder-suicide. The victims are Patrizia Lamanuzzi and Luigi Gentile. They reportedly fell three meters from the balcony of their home on Via Vittorio Veneto in Bisceglie.
The refusal of separation
At the root of this horror lies a horribly familiar and repetitive pattern: the man's obsessive and violent inability to accept the end of a relationship. The couple, in fact, had begun the process and were in the process of separating. This dynamic makes the tragedy not only inexplicable, but completely unacceptable to a civilized society that continues to count the victims.
The testimony and the screams
The tragedy unfolded in a matter of moments, leaving the building's residents and the entire neighborhood in shock. A neighbor provided the police with the first and most dramatic accounts of what happened that morning. The woman said she heard the victim's desperate screams moments before seeing her fatal fall to the asphalt.
A destroyed family
This intolerable act of male abuse leaves behind only rubble, anger, and indelible pain. The husband and wife leave behind two children, who live in Trani and Switzerland, respectively. Today, they find themselves dealing with the devastating legacy of cowardly, senseless, and, sadly, still all too widespread violence.

As a reaction, I read the news with great sadness and dismay, but it's unclear to me how it could have happened: it seems he didn't want the separation, and so there was violence; the community failed to protect her, and the family left behind two children who are now left without answers; too many things remain unclear.
