AGI – It was classified as a domestic accident, but the case of Soukaina El Basri, a thirty-year-old from Biella of Moroccan origin, a well-known influencer specializing in beauty and fashion, is turning into a mystery. The woman had been rescued in recent days by her 118, who had received calls from the woman’s husband, Johnatan Maldonato, who had told the health workers that her wife had injured her chest when she fell at home. She was admitted to the Biella Ponderano Sick Hospital, she then worsened and was transferred to the intensive care unit of the Maggiore hospital in Novara. There is the utmost confidentiality regarding her condition: the Novara hospital only confirms her hospitalization and her serious condition.
The Biella Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into the matter, entrusting the investigations to the state police. “An entry has been made in the register of suspects for attempted murder”, confirmed the chief prosecutor of the Republic of Biella Teresa Angela Camelio while meeting reporters in the gardens of the courthouse.
A lot of blood was found in the woman’s house, but no weapons. The police have already collected testimonies from Soukaina’s brother and sister. “Siu”, this is her nickname on her social networks, is a fairly established influencer. She has over 80 thousand followers on Instagram, and is also present on Facebook with 5700 followers: on the latter social network, however, the most recent posts date back to 2022. The woman is the mother of two girls, aged five and six, born to her husband Johnatan.
House under seizure
The house in the Chiavazza district of Biella where “Siu” lives, the thirty-year-old influencer who is fighting between life and death in the intensive care unit of the Maggiore Hospital in Novara, was seized on the orders of the Prosecutor’s Office whose investigation is focusing on family relationships. According to rumors gathered in the city, Soukaina El Basri and her husband Johnatan were experiencing a rather stormy period in their relationship. Some relatives of the investigators spoke of a tense situation between the couple, as people informed on the facts.
In proceeding with the registration of the suspects, the prosecutor’s office does not consider the hypothesis of an accidental fall to be plausible, nor the version of an anti-conservative gesture carried out by the victim herself. The technical consultant was given the task of verifying the compatibility of a bladed weapon or other instrument with the characteristics of the wound.
The chief prosecutor of the Republic of Biella Teresa Angela Camelio told journalists that “the relationships between husband and wife were problematic”. Precisely this situation made the investigators think that what had happened was not an accident. “Although – added the magistrate – we considered it necessary to verify the health conditions of the victim at a time when the possibility of an anti-conservative act also arose”.
The head of the prosecutor’s office did not confirm that the person registered in the register of suspects on charges of attempted murder is the woman’s husband, “who – he instead declared – was heard with guarantees”. The magistrate also specified that “there is no arrest” and when asked where “Siu’s husband” was today, he said “it is not a question I can answer”.
