Femicide in San Giovanni al Natisone: woman killed with a shot in the throat, Chinese companion arrested

A violent argument, the desperate screams of a woman asking for help and the neighbors who become alarmed and call Nue112. It all happened in a few minutes in the afternoon, just after 5pm, in San Giovanni al Natisone, a town in the province of Udine. But when the medical emergency services and the police arrived at the apartment in via delle Scuole, there was nothing left that could be done for the woman. He was lifeless on the ground, with a deep stab wound to his throat. Another feminicide.

The companion, of Chinese nationality like the woman, was still at home and was stopped by the police. An episode of violence, which, according to what residents in the area reported, was not the first within the family. Others had been reported in the past. Hence the promptness of the residents to call for help. The air ambulance was also sent to the scene, but the medical staff could not help but confirm the death. The military personnel isolated the area and started technical-scientific surveys to reconstruct the dynamics of the attack in detail and recover the murder weapon.

According to what residents reported, the man, owner of a well-known upholstery business in the village, had left home for a period and returned to China. After returning to Italy, he settled back into the family home, resuming relations with his partner. "I can never understand how it could get to this point, honestly. The community is very dismayed and surprised by what happened. Because you never expect that these things can happen even in a town of 6 thousand inhabitants", said mayor Carlo Pali. "These things still happen despite all the communication that is made to try to raise the problem" of violence, "to try to overcome it - he added - it is really very sad. We are talking about a couple who broke up with a violent act, which is never a justification".
