Violent incidents involving women in Italy

Overview

Two separate violent incidents involving women have been reported in Italy.

In Colleferro, near Rome, a 50-year-old Polish woman, Johanna Rouissi (also identified as Joanna Szyszkowska), was stabbed to death in her home. The victim was reportedly stabbed multiple times in the throat following a domestic dispute. Her 69-year-old Tunisian husband, Mohammed Habib Rouissi, was apprehended near the scene and has reportedly confessed to the killing. He is currently held in custody.

The attack was witnessed by the couple’s 9-year-old son and their 21-year-old son. The children have been placed in a protected facility, with the Municipality of Colleferro providing assistance. The Velletri Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the incident as a femicide. While the couple was reportedly in the process of separating, local authorities noted signs of domestic tension and previous visits to a psychiatrist to manage the husband’s violent outbursts.

Following the victim's funeral, the town of Colleferro declared a period of city mourning. The municipality ordered flags to be flown at half-mast on all municipal buildings, and local companies sounded sirens in remembrance. A candlelight vigil was scheduled at Largo San Francesco, featuring a procession intended to serve as a “public condemnation of violence against women.”

In Corigliano-Rossano, a 72-year-old woman was found dead in an agricultural field. Authorities are investigating a possible violent death due to injuries to her head and face that may have been caused by stones. Her husband, who discovered the body, is being questioned by investigators, and the Castrovillari Prosecutor’s Office has ordered an autopsy.
