Military officer from Caracal arrested after stabbing ex-wife on street
A 44-year-old military officer was arrested for thirty days on Saturday after stabbing a 34-year-old woman on a street in Caracal, Olt County, according to agerpres.ro. The man was subject to an active protection order at the time of the assault.
The incident took place on Friday, 6 November 2026, at approximately 18:20, at the intersection of Mărului and Rahovei streets in Caracal municipality. The man left the scene immediately after the attack, but was identified and detained the same evening following the mobilisation of all available units of Caracal Municipal Police.
Investigation taken over by military prosecutor
Representatives of Olt County Police Inspectorate (IPJ) clarified that, because the suspect is a military officer, the case was taken over by a military prosecutor. "Following the presentation of evidence, the prosecutor ordered the detention of the 44-year-old man for 24 hours, with him being placed in the Detention and Preventive Arrest Centre within Olt County Police Inspectorate", said representatives of IPJ Olt.
On Saturday, the man was presented before the court. Judges accepted the prosecutor's proposal and ordered his preventive arrest for thirty days, according to the same source.
Protection order without electronic monitoring
The woman had obtained a protection order against the man beginning 4 October 2026, after notifying police that he had threatened her with acts of violence. Police issued a temporary protection order at that time. On 8 October, the court ordered the issuance of a protection order for a period of two months, without electronic monitoring.
Representatives of IPJ Olt further clarify that the woman refused the installation of an electronic surveillance device. On 2 November, she presented herself at Caracal Municipal Police headquarters, where she withdrew her previous complaint regarding the offence of threats. Four days later, she was stabbed on the street.
According to judicial sources, the two were in divorce proceedings at the time of the assault. The victim was transported to hospital Friday evening for medical care.
