The father of a 12-year-old
girl who was badly injured in a stabbing attack in Genoa on
Sunday has been arrested for attempted murder, sources said
Monday. The man, an Ecuadorian with a criminal record for
domestic abuse, was arrested overnight following questioning as
his story featured several contradictions, sources said. The man
was later served an arrest warrant on charges of attempted
murder, judicial sources said. The girl was said to be in a
"stationary" condition in hospital after suffering multiple stab
wounds including one deep one to the abdomen and other shallower
ones to the arms. The man had said the girl was stabbed as he
struggled with a North African man at a petrol pump.
