Italy: Brit Woman Stabbed Allegedly By Husband, Investigation Underway

A 66-year-old British expat whose identity has not been disclosed was found with injuries from a stabbing in her abdomen at her residence located near Casoli, situated in the eastern part of Italy. An investigation is underway following the discovery of the body at her residence in Italy.

In the city of Chieti, Italy, a British mother Michele Faiers has been fatally stabbed in her residence. Police have initiated a search for Faiers' spouse, who allegedly absconded using the family vehicle, a white Jeep Compass.

As reported by The Sun, Police promptly responded to the distress call from the location in the Verratti district, where they came upon the lifeless body of the 66-year-old, which was surrounded by a pool of blood.

The chief prosecutor of Lanciano, Mirvana Di Serio, along with forensic investigators, also made their way to the scene.

The discovery of Faiers' body occurred when a concerned friend, growing increasingly uneasy about the lack of communication from her, decided to visit her residence. The woman had not been responsive to phone calls, prompting the friend to check on her at her home, situated approximately six miles from the town centre.

Neighbours contacted the authorities upon hearing the woman's cries. Upon arrival, the officers found Faiers on the bedroom floor, surrounded by a pool of blood, with multiple stab wounds in her back.

Colonel Alceo Greco, representing Italy's Carabinieri police force, has identified Faiers's husband as the primary suspect in the case. An investigation into the murder is now underway.

The Couple's Life In Italy

For the past three years, Faiers had been residing with her husband in the countryside near Casoli, Chieti.

The local community described the couple as private, noting that they frequently observed them taking leisurely walks with their trio of dogs.

Her last Instagram post, featuring three sunset images taken from her house's terrace, was made on October 25. The caption read, "Another beautiful sunset," and her partner was among the individuals who liked the post.

Additional photos showcased the couple enjoying a winter vacation, and skiing in the nearby mountains, and one image showed her with her daughter Harriet.

A spokesperson from the Foreign Office has stated that they have not yet received any requests for consular assistance, but they are prepared to provide support to British nationals overseas.
