A man has been arrested for allegedly
stabbing his wife to death at the couple's home in Cagliari
overnight after a row with her in the latest in an alarming
spate of femicides in Italy.
The victim has been named as 59-year-old Ignazia Tumatis.
Her husband, Luciano Ellies, 77, allegedly stabbed her around 10
times after a row broke out when the woman returned home late
following the Italy-Spain Euro 2024 football match.
"She laughed in my face and I just lost it," Ellies told
investigators, according to daily newspaper L'Unione Sarda.
The couple's children alerted the police after he told them he
had killed her.
