Woman commits suicide after reporting ex for stalking

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 4 - A woman committed suicide in Sicily on Tuesday after reporting her former intimate partner for stalking while serving an 11-year conviction under house arrest for repeated sexual violence, injuries and death threats against her.
    The 33-year-old Romanian national reported her ex, 26-year-old Razvan Birzoi also from Romania, on June 28, and Caltanissetta prosecutors had the man transferred to prison.
    The pair had reportedly been romantically linked for a few months in 2020, before the woman reported her partner for sexual violence and ill-treatment.
    Birzoi was subsequently sentenced to 11 years at first instance and the sentence was upheld on appeal.
    The Caltanissetta public prosecutor's office will now have to establish whether the controls to which Birzoi was subject under house arrest were insufficient. (ANSA).
