A 32-year-old man attacked late Sunday afternoon in Fiorenzuola d'Arda, in the Piacenza province, is critically ill, having suffered at least ten stab wounds . His alleged attacker, a Ukrainian citizen and the ex-partner of the 32-year-old's current partner, fled in a car, reportedly reached a secluded area and committed suicide by setting the car on fire.

The Carabinieri are investigating the case, which still has many unclear details. The attack occurred around 5:00 PM on Via Lungo Arda. According to reconstructions, the 32-year-old was on a bench when he was allegedly approached by another man who stabbed him—at least ten times —in the abdomen and neck before fleeing.

Emergency personnel found the victim lying on the floor in a pool of blood. A blood transfusion was administered on the scene, but an air ambulance was then called for emergency transport to Parma Hospital. The 32-year-old was admitted to the hospital in serious condition and is currently undergoing surgery. His condition is extremely serious. He is battling for life .

One aspect of the case that needs clarification is the victim's identity: the 32-year-old initially claimed to be a resident of Como and an Air Force pilot stationed at a base in Veneto. However, this last information was not confirmed by subsequent Carabinieri investigations, and the military itself denied his affiliation.

Regarding the motive for the attack, however, based on the evidence gathered, investigators are more likely to believe it was jealousy: the Carabinieri immediately focused their search on a Ukrainian citizen, the former partner of the 32-year-old's current girlfriend . The woman, also of Eastern European origin, reportedly arrived at the scene of the attack shortly after the incident. After a two-hour search , law enforcement found the alleged attacker's car burned out, with a charred body inside, in an isolated area of Lusurasco , along the provincial road connecting Fiorenzuola to Castellarquato.

The hypothesis is that the man sought out a quiet area to take his own life, setting fire to the car. However, to definitively establish the identity of the charred body inside the car, an analysis and autopsy will be required, which will be performed in the coming days.
