A man was arrested for allegedly
beating his wife in Modena on Thursday.
The 27-year-old Tunisian man allegedly beat his new wife for a
year breaking several of her bones.
He also threatened her with her life, police said.
The man allegedly acted out of a desire to have "total control
over the woman", police said.
He allegedly kicked and punched the victim and also used a
knife, police said.
"His violent conduct engendered in the victim a well-founded
fear for her life", said police.
She fled for her life in July.
