An Italian woman was beaten to
death by a partner she had let back into her life after he
served prison time for domestic violence, sources said
Wednesday.
The woman had also defended him on several occasions, sources
said.
The man, 46, killed the woman, 45, in their home at Sozzago
near Novara.
Novara Prosecutor Marilinda Mineccia said "the man is still
being questioned and there are no known complaints by the victim
against him".
The man also has a record of resisting arrest, she said.
Mineccia said the probe was at a "delicate stage".
