Buenos Aires – A businessman with a history of mental illness rushed into a kindergarten and stabbed his ex-partner to death in front of a group of petrified three – and four-year-old children in Argentina on Wednesday.
Police had issued a restraining order against the man and given the woman a panic button, but the measures failed to prevent him stabbing his 44-year-old ex-partner in the neck repeatedly with a knife. “The man burst in with a weapon. His intention to harm her was clear,” prosecutor Bernardo Alberione said that after the brutal attack in San Francisco, Cordoba province. Neither the suspect nor his former partner who is also mother to his two grown children were named. The man, also a violent alcoholic, is in custody, police said.
