Man, 25, arrested for murdering woman, 69

(ANSA) - MACERATA, JUL 3 - A 25-year-old man was arrested Friday after allegedly breaking into a home in the Marche town of Jesi and killing a 69-year-old woman with a glass shard from the broken window.
    The woman's husband is in serious condition.
    The incident happened at about five thirty Friday morning in the town near Macerata.
    The husband, 74-year-old Italo Giuliani, said he and his wife Fiorella Scarponi were woken up by the noise of the young man breaking into their home.
    The intruder lashed out at Scarponi and slit her throat with the glass shard, said Giuliani, who was rushed to hospital in code red.
    Neighbours heard the couple's screams and called the police who found the alleged assailant hiding behind a hedge.
    The attacker, who lives with his mother in the same area, may have had psychiatric problems, said Ancona Carabinieri chief Cristian Carrozza.
    "The episode is apparently without a motive," he said. (ANSA).
