On his return home he would have found the cohabitant in the bedroom with another man and would have hurled himself at her with a knife, seriously injuring her abdomen.
Then he would have tried to stab the man too, but he himself had the worst because the attacked would have defended himself with a poker, injuring the attacker and then calling for help.
This is the summary reconstruction, still to be ascertained, of what happened on Saturday night, around 1.30 am, in Cutigliano (Pistoia), on the Pistoia mountains.
The woman, as reported by Il Tirreno di Pistoia, is hospitalized in serious condition at the Prato hospital, where she remains in a reserved prognosis for serious injuries to the abdomen, but she would not be in danger of life.
The cohabitant, under arrest for attempted murder, is instead on guard at the Pistoia hospital.
The protagonists of the story are a couple of street artists, he 42, she 37, who recently moved to the Pistoia mountains.
The alleged lover, 50, would instead come from a neighboring country.
For the moment the only version of the facts provided to the carabinieri, who intervened on the spot, is precisely that of the alleged lover, because the woman would not yet be able to speak.
