A 59-year-old man was arrested by
Carabinieri police on Tuesday after allegedly trying to hammer
his wife and daughter to death in the northern province of
Brescia, sources said.
The man also had several petrol canisters and may have wanted
to set light to the family home, the sources said.
The wife, 51, and the daughter, 21, were taken to hospital
but their injuries were not said to be serious.
The alarm was raised by the couple's son, who lives in the
same apartment building on the floor below.
