"The case dates back to April 2021, when Ubeda, who had been living with her Italian partner in the Avellino area of southern Italy, filed a complaint with police alleging he had physically and mentally abused her and their two children, including allegedly raping her several times and holding a knife to her throat – in front of two witnesses – and implying her case would end up in the newspapers like other femicides.
