The arrest is made for mistreatment of a 53-year-old accused of a series of harassment against his ex-partner.

The man, domiciled in Casarano, ended up in handcuffs yesterday morning. The arrest in prison was carried out by the local carabinieri, as ordered by the public prosecutor on duty Simona Rizzo .

The military intervened following a report from the ex who showed up at the barracks to report the abuse she had suffered.

According to what was claimed by the prosecution, based on the complaint from his ex-partner, the 53-year-old mistreated the woman, both before and after living together. And on one occasion, after shouting that he would kill her, he fired several shots inside the house, hitting walls, furniture and furnishings. And on another occasion he would have pointed the gun at her forehead, telling her that she had to be his woman. To then get to the key episode of Sunday night, when after kicking her out of the house, he joined her in another apartment and after having offended her and tried to break down the front door, he then followed her when, in the early hours of the morning, the woman decided to go to the police station to file a complaint.

The 53-year-old, assisted by the lawyer Attilio De Marco , will have to appear tomorrow before the investigating judge Maria Francesca Mariano for the hearing to validate the arrest. At that time, you will be able to provide your version of the facts or make use of the right not to respond.

It should be remembered that on Monday morning the police checked the man’s house for weapons. The search was negative, but holes were found on the walls of some rooms, presumably caused by the use of a firearm.

Specifically, three were identified in the kitchen (two on the window frame). And then, others on the bedroom wardrobe doors, even if covered in stucco and adhesive paper. And finally three others (in one the ogive was still present), on the tiled wall of the bathroom, hidden by a mirror.
