An invalid 64-year-old woman who
was stabbed by her husband at the weekend died on Monday.
Mirella Guth, 64, who was bed-ridden after a stroke, was
hospitalized after pensioner Giancarlo Righetti, 64, tried to
kill her and their 37-year-old autistic son Davide Righetti with
a kitchen knife, then attempted suicide.
Father and son are in critical condition.
Righetti is under arrest on charges of first-degree murder
and attempted murder.
He had left a note explaining that he acted because he
could no longer cope with his son.
Also in Verona at the weekend, 82-year-old Virgilia
Zamberlan was committed to a psych ward after she tried to kill
her invalid husband by stabbing him in the throat.
Oddone Gasparoni, 84, is hospitalized with non-life
threatening injuries.
