Udine, arrest validated for Chinese man accused of stabbing his wife to death

The investigating judge of the Court of Udine has validated the arrest of the 52-year-old man, of Chinese nationality, who on Saturday afternoon stabbed to death his 54-year-old wife, his compatriot, in their home in San Giovanni al Natisone (Udine).

During the hearing, he exercised the right not to respond. Pre-trial detention in prison has been ordered for him. He is accused of voluntary homicide, aggravated by cruelty and family ties. Now the autopsy examination ordered by the Prosecutor's Office and entrusted to the medical examiner Carlo Moreschi will also be carried out. According to what his defenders reported, the Chinese citizen asked to meet his 19-year-old daughter, who would like to appear in court as a civil party.
