A 32-year-old Italian man
killed a love rival, stabbed his 18-year-old girlfriend and
jumped out of a first-floor window in the centre of Avellino on
Thursday.
The murderer was named as Gian Marco Gimmelli.
He went with his live-in girlfriend to the victim's home to
clear up a relationship dispute, police said.
The conversation quickly degenerated into a brawl and
Gimmelli pulled out a knife, first killing the other man and
then stabbing his own girlfriend, police said.
The woman has been taken to hospital.
She is not said to be in a life-threatening condition.
Gimmelli, meanwhile, was seriously injured in his fall.
