(ANSA) - ANCONA, 20 JUN - He quarrels at home with his wife and then hits her with a rubber hammer on the head, several times, causing her to collapse to the ground.
After her, believing her dead, he fled and she committed suicide.
It happened this morning around 6:30 in the Santa Maria area in Filottrano (Ancona).
The local police carabinieri, coordinated by the Osimo Company, were looking for the man, 52 years old of Moldovan origin, to arrest him on charges of attempted murder but found him dead.
Her wife, about 50 years old, also Moldovan, suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized in Ancona, in a confidential prognosis, but is not in danger of life.
It was the very woman, despite being wounded and bleeding, who stood up and called the carabinieri.
The 52-year-old, according to the results of the first investigations by the Carabinieri, would not have accepted the idea of separating from his wife, as she would have liked.
This would have been the spring of her, in her husband's mind, which would have triggered the attack on his wife and then suicide, perhaps in the belief that he had killed her.
The prosecutor Irene Bilotta has not ordered the autopsy but an external reconnaissance of the body will be performed.
