British Woman, 66, Found Stabbed to Death in Italian Home – Husband On The Run
Husband Flees After Brutal Murder in Quiet Italian Town
A chilling murder has shattered the peace of the leafy Verratti district in Casoli, Italy. A 66-year-old British woman was found fatally stabbed in her own home. Her husband, also British, vanished in the family car before police could question him.
Friend Discovers Victim in Pool of Blood
The victim’s identity is being kept under wraps, but the horror was uncovered by a worried friend. After failing to reach her earlier in the day, the friend visited the house only to find the woman mortally wounded with stab wounds to her abdomen, lying in a pool of blood.
Neighbours told police they heard desperate screams for help coming from the house. Authorities rushed in after receiving frantic calls, but sadly, it was too late to save her.
Couple Lived Quiet Life Surrounded by Countryside and Dogs
The British couple had lived in the house for around three years, described by locals as private and reserved. They were often seen walking their three dogs through the picturesque Italian countryside, enjoying the calm of the Verratti district.
Investigation Underway as Police Hunt Husband
Following the grim discovery, police now have the husband in their sights. He reportedly drove off in the family car after the body was found. The motive remains a mystery as forensic teams work to determine how long the victim had been dead before discovery.
Casoli, a normally peaceful town near Italy’s eastern coast, is stunned by this devastating crime. Italian police vow to find the suspect and bring justice for the murdered British woman.
