Woman beaten up by rugby player in Italy

Have other people been following the story of the British couple in Italy? The male partner died suddenly in a hotel room and the female partner was taken to hospital with severe injuries. All the early reports said the police thought it was a "sex game gone wrong". That immediately set off alarm bells for me - what kind of sex game could go so badly wrong that a woman was very badly injured?

The woman is now well enough to talk and it turns out that the man violently assaulted her, injuring her very badly, including damaging her eye socket. And then he suddenly died of a heart attack.

Isn't it telling that the police's first thought to a woman having injuries so bad that she is now using a wheelchair is "sex game gone wrong"?

There's a ridiculous amount of NAMALT's who pop up on here whenever the issue of male violence is discussed. Every time.

He almost killed her. She's lucky to be alive. How can there be two sides to that?

There is NEVER any excuse for male violence. I wonder how badly she injured him before he died. 🙄

What is NAMALT?

The heart attack I would guess steroid or other drug use. It didn’t sit right with me that the police immediately threw the ‘sex game gone wrong’ explanation out there. I mean come on. Of course the papers jumped all over it.

I second this, @Clymene

One less fucker walking around for us to be scared of. Good riddance.

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 03/08/2022 09:10

Cmon Macbeth, what di she do to him? Answer back? Tell him to put his socks in the laundry basket?

I'm sure she would be dead now, if he hadn't had a heart attack.

Yes she would be dead and he would be believed that it was a sex game gone wrong. There are plenty of examples of exactly this scenario on the 'We Can't Consent to This' website if you have the stomach for it. As for @Macbeth8 victim blaming, shame on you.

Poor woman. What a terrifying ordeal to go through. I hope she can get home soon.

As for the male violence apologist, just have a think about what you're saying.

Beefcurtains79 · 03/08/2022 09:12

Yeah Macbeth, since you know the situation so well, tell us how and why she deserved to be beaten so badly she didn’t recover consciousness for a week? We are all waiting.

I hope he rots in hell.

TheVanguardSix · 03/08/2022 09:16

Waste of space.
You live by the sword, you die by the sword.
Good riddance.

As for the NAMALTs, well… he was like that. And his death saved her life. If only it could always be that way.

So she physically assaulted him as badly as he did her? How many injuries did he sustain before having his heart attack? Would any of those injuries involve surgical treatment? No? Then there are no sides. He was an awful man.

I have no idea what kind of sex games result in serious injuries but it seems to be the lazy and dismissive way of police forces now.

Harridan1981 · 03/08/2022 09:16

Hell yeah, he must have been petrified of her 'toxicity' while he smashed her face to a pulp and put her in a wheelchair while high on drugs. 👍👍

Ereshkigalangcleg · 03/08/2022 09:17

Disgusting victim blaming, I remember people also doing that about Natalie Connolly, who bled to death on the floor as part of an alleged "sex game gone wrong". This woman would have died also if this other coked up man hadn't had a heart attack.

AuntieMarys · 03/08/2022 09:18

Evil fucker. Probably a " loveable rogue" and " salt of the earth" to those like macbeth.
Have you organised a balloon send-off yet?

People will always find excuses to justify male violence against women.

hewouldwouldnthe · 03/08/2022 09:21

Taking cocaine is known to cause heart issues and fuelling anger issues.

It may well have been a turbulent relationship, but nothing excuses violence at any level.

Nope
He was much bigger and stronger than her, he doesn’t have a “side” here

Yep, it’s like a Bat signal going off. And as for the two sides bollocks - she’s in a wheelchair because he violently assaulted her and he’s dead because he violently assaulted her. That Bette Davis quote re death springs to mind.

He's a rugby player, she's a woman. The power is on massively on his side here, so go away with your abuse apologist views.

knittingaddict · 03/08/2022 09:43

And you just know Macbeth8 won't be back. They never do.

“I know Ricky.”
Take it to his Facebook dedication page if you know Ricky so well. You’ll find your pathetic tribe of enablers there.
