A 30-year-old Albanian national living in Guidonia Monteselio, outside Rome, "was no longer able to cope with the forced life with his wife," a police statement said.

After appealing to the police for help, he was immediately arrested for violating house arrest, and the judge later ordered that he be transferred to prison.
