A 66-year-old man in Comănești, Bacău County, Romania, stabbed his 67-year-old wife and her 63-year-old sister to death early Monday before attempting suicide, according to police. The bodies of the two women were discovered at the sister’s home, with the wife found inside and the sister in the garden, both with multiple stab wounds. The suspect, who has a medical history of schizophrenia and multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, was taken to a hospital under police supervision after attempting to electrocute himself.
Authorities stated that the man’s wife had been staying with her sister for about a week due to disagreements with her husband, though no prior domestic violence reports were on record. A forensic team, including criminal investigators and prosecutors from the Bacău Tribunal, was dispatched to the scene. Investigations are ongoing under a criminal case for qualified murder, with no prior police records for domestic violence involving the individuals .
The incident follows a series of high-profile killings in Italy over the past week. In Venice, Dino Keber, 43, allegedly strangled his ex-partner Tania Terrin, 39, on Ferragosto before returning to his home in Dolo and hanging himself. Terrin had previously filed a complaint against Keber, who had received an official warning from the Venice Questore. In April, Keber had attempted to strangle Terrin, leading to a police report supported by medical documentation. Carabinieri in Camponogara and investigative units are reconstructing the events, with no signs of forced entry at Terrin’s home .
In Sardinia, Michela Rubiu, 47, died Monday at Cagliari’s Brotzu Hospital after 25 days in intensive care from a gunshot wound to the head. Her husband, Alessandro Pintus, 39, had shot her at close range on July 23 at their bar in Solanas before killing his 42-year-old brother in Quartu Sant’Elena. Pintus, a licensed gun owner, surrendered to carabinieri and confessed. With Rubiu’s death, prosecutors are expected to upgrade charges against Pintus to double homicide. Forensic teams are examining the crime scenes to determine the exact sequence of events .
In another case, Ornella Forastefano, 46, died outside Trebisacce Hospital in Cosenza from injuries inflicted by her partner, a 42-year-old Albanian man with a drug-related criminal record. He was arrested in Bari’s port while attempting to flee to Albania and is now in custody pending judicial validation .
