Suspected stabber arrested
According to rainews.it, police have held a 21-year-old Kosovar national for the attempted murder of two young men that occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning at the Oasi della Valletta del Silenzio, near Villa La Rotonda in Vicenza. The stabbing took place during a birthday party.
Testimonies collected by investigators describe the suspect as exhibiting troublesome behaviour from the beginning of the evening. Around 3 a.m., the situation escalated when the 21-year-old threatened a girl with a knife. Two party attendees, an 18-year-old and a 22-year-old, attempted to calm him down but were repeatedly struck with knife blows.
The 18-year-old sustained serious facial fractures and an injury to his left eye; emergency treatment at Montecchio hospital may not save his sight. The 22-year-old was wounded to the shoulder and back with a less critical prognosis.
The attacker fled after the stabbing. Officers from the mobile squad located him 24 hours later at his girlfriend's home, where they found clothing still stained with blood and mud. The 21-year-old was taken to Vicenza remand prison and placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities.
