A 42-year-old man, Giovanni
Maggio, was detained late on Wednesday in relation to an attack
on an elderly patient at Taranto's Santissima Annunziata.
Adriana Dursi, 74, is on verge of death after suffering blows
to the head with a blunt object.

closed-circuit video footage and the accounts of eyewitnesses.
He has a criminal record and was reported by his wife in 2008
for an alleged attack with a screwdriver, sources said
