After kicking and punching her, he also tried to strangle her: the attack in Marano di Napoli could have ended much worse, where a 40-year-old woman was tortured and drugged by her partner, a nurse who works at a Naples hospital. He allegedly used benzodiazepine drugs stolen from the hospital to drug his victim.
The man, a 47-year-old, allegedly stole drugs, sedatives and tourniquets to accentuate or calm the alteration caused by cocaine .
In the home, the Carabinieri also found bottles of sedatives and anxiolytics. According to the investigation, the woman had been injured with a scalpel (which was seized) and then kicked and punched throughout the day. The officers found blood throughout the home and strands of hair scattered everywhere.
When the police asked the man to open the door, the nurse shouted at him, "What do you want? What did you come for? Go away," trying to drown out his partner's cries and moans. At that point, the officers burst in and managed to subdue him.
Emergency medical personnel found the 40-year-old woman with signs of beatings on her legs, face, arms, and neck. They also found a cut on her hand made with a scalpel, as well as a broken rib. Taken to the hospital, the 40-year-old is hospitalized with a prognosis of 20 days and will undergo further medical tests in the coming days. The 47-year-old was arrested and is now in prison. He is also under a restraining order against his mother, who constantly pressured him, even via chat, to hand over money.
