Massimo Cannone, the contemporary husband of Naima Zahir, the 45-year-old originally from Morocco killed three days ago in their home in Lentini, was stopped by the police.
A provision by the Syracuse Public Prosecutor's Office was issued against him for voluntary homicide, assuming the danger of escape.
The woman died of a stab wound in her neck.
The man claimed to have found her on the bed at home, to have extracted the weapon to try to revive her, to have cleaned the blood on the ground because my "brain went haywire" and hypothesized that the wife "did everything from alone ".
An autopsy will be performed tomorrow.
The arrest was carried out by personnel from the mobile squad of the Syracuse Police Headquarters and the Lentini police station.

The man after a long interrogation had been left free, but under investigation for murder, also to allow for tomorrow's autopsy to be carried out as a 'unrepeatable act'.
According to what has been learned, the provision was issued by the Prosecutor of Syracuse, motivating it with the danger of escape.
Yesterday, speaking with reporters, Cannone had provided his reconstruction of the facts stating that he left the house with his nineteen-year-old son, he to go to a pizzeria and the young man to get water in a supermarket, and when he returned an hour later he found his wife on the bed, took the knife from her neck and tried to revive her, but she was already dead,
and with a rag he cleaned the pool of blood on the floor in the room.
The man hypothesized that the woman, in his opinion of her, "did everything by herself, then - he added - I don't know ...".
Cannone explained that he panicked at the sight of blood, of "not knowing what I was doing", because he, he said, "my brain went haywire".
Even today the man confirmed his reconstruction by talking to journalists.
A dynamic that has not convinced the Prosecutor of Syracuse that has ordered the arrest of him.
