A man confessed to police on
Wednesday to stabbing his wife to death overnight Tuesday, said
police in the province of Varese, northwest of Milan.
Police said the 30-year-old woman from Albania was killed
in front of the couple's children in their home after an
argument.
The victim's husband called emergency services and
subsequently confessed to police.
Meanwhile, in the southern province of Caserta, near
Naples, two Algerians were arrested and detained Wednesday after
police found them with a woman burning alive in her bed.
Police said the woman's boyfriend, Fakir Ali Cherif, and
another man, Bach Sais Rachid - both 47-year-old homeless
illegal immigrants from Algeria - had covered the 30-year-old
woman from Kazakistan with alcohol and set her on fire.
When police arrived on the scene, they put out the flames
using a bed sheet.
The woman is in hospital in life-threatening condition with
burns covering 60% of her body.
