The accusation against Lorenzo Sofia, 70 years old, the husband of Elisa Scavone, 65 years old, who died at the Molinette hospital in Turin during the night, has changed, after two days in which doctors tried to save her from the injuries sustained for her twenties of stab wounds suffered. Prosecutor Roberto Furlan, in charge of the investigation, is now investigating for voluntary homicide and no longer for attempted homicide. The husband is hospitalized in the same hospital, but in the ward reserved for prisoners, as his psychiatric conditions do not conform to prison conditions. Scavone had been transported to Molinette by health workers who had rescued her in her apartment in the Philadelphia area, lying bleeding in her bed. She had undergone emergency surgery, but her injuries immediately proved to be too serious and her children had already been warned yesterday afternoon to prepare for the worst.

The woman’s condition immediately appeared very serious due to the wounds inflicted by the 70-year-old man, who was arrested immediately afterwards by the police. In fact, the woman had undergone emergency surgery and her spleen had been removed. She had been hit with a knife, at the height of an argument, several times, in the abdomen and back. A deep wound had reached her diaphragm and stomach.
The 70-year-old, a former tire dealer, was also transferred to Molinette, to the inmate unit, as his psychiatric conditions were not compatible with detention in prison. In front of the public prosecutor Roberto Furlan, who coordinates the investigation, he made use of the right not to answer.
The couple had been married for about 40 years, with two children.
Neighbors told investigators that they had never heard the couple argue until the day of the tragedy. Testimonies which, however, are not confirmed by others: those who knew the two well speak of arguments. The man had had problems with depression, conditions that had led him to be admitted to a nursing home for a period. The man allegedly told the officers who arrived at the apartment: “I did it, I’ve been thinking about it for years.”
