Domestic violence continues in Naples, where Carabinieri officers from the Rione Traiano station, along with officers from the Naples Bagnoli Operations Unit, arrested a 66-year-old man on charges of domestic abuse and aggravated assault. According to the investigation, he attacked his 65-year-old wife, striking her with a pair of scissors during a violent argument that broke out in the couple's home.

The alarm from the emergency room

The operation began yesterday afternoon, around 16:35 PM, following a report from the emergency room at San Paolo Hospital. The woman, having just arrived at the hospital, told the police that she had been attacked by her husband inside their home.

The argument degenerated

According to her account, the argument began over trivial matters and quickly escalated. The man began insulting and threatening her, eventually pushing her violently against the living room table, which was destroyed during the attack. Only then did the 65-year-old realize her husband was holding a pair of kitchen scissors.

The hits and the run

The woman attempted to flee, but was reportedly struck by multiple bullets. One shot hit her chest, while others struck her right leg and back. Despite her injuries, the 65-year-old managed to leave her home and take a taxi to San Paolo Hospital, where doctors gave her a 21-day prognosis.

The home inspection

After taking the victim's statement, the Carabinieri went to the couple's apartment. Inside, they found the 66-year-old man lying on the bed in the bedroom. The apartment was completely ransacked, with damaged furniture and clear signs of the violent fight that had just taken place. During the search, the officers seized the scissors, which were found to be soaked in blood.

The complaints of the past months

The investigations revealed a family situation that was already severely compromised. In recent months, both the man's wife and son had filed several complaints, describing incidents of threats, constant insults, and physical assault. In one of the complaints, the son claimed his father had entered his room brandishing a pair of scissors and yelling at him.

The arrest

By order of the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office, the 66-year-old was arrested and transferred to Poggioreale prison, where he remains at the disposal of the judicial authorities pending a validation hearing.

Topics

It seems like a sad story, but I don't quite understand it. There had been violence in the family for months. The woman managed to escape and took a taxi to the hospital with a 21-day prognosis. But the neighbors didn't say anything. The police arrested the husband, but social services don't always help. More information and protection are needed.
