Soukaina El Basri, the influencer known as “Siu” from Biella originally from Morocco, who was injured last Thursday in her home and hospitalized in Novara hospital, has emerged from a pharmacological coma. The 30-year-old is still hospitalized for observation in the intensive care unit, where she is still unable to receive visits, not even from her brother who she has been waiting for since last Friday in the hospital waiting room. If her condition were to improve, the investigators could interview the woman to gather her version of what happened in the Chiavazza house.
The two versions of the husband
Her husband Jonathan Maldonato is in prison accused of attempted murder by the Biella prosecutor’s office. The hearing to validate his arrest is awaited for him. The man had already been reported by his wife for mistreatment in May 2023. However, the complaint was withdrawn. Maldonato declared himself innocent, but provided investigators with two conflicting versions of how his wife was injured. Initially, the man had spoken of a domestic accident with the edge of a piece of furniture, which had caused his wife to have a hole in her chest. At a later time, Maldonato instead spoke of an attempted suicide. He told the investigators that he found her ready to take her life and that he disarmed her with something that she had in her hands, but which he was unable to define. When she was calling for help, her wife allegedly convinced him to report the version of the accident because she “was afraid of being admitted to psychiatry”.
Suspicions about the weapon
The prosecutor’s office reiterates that it has collected numerous elements that accuse Maldonato in the 25 pages of the arrest decree. Among these was a displaced coat, which was on a chair on May 18, the day the house was seized. Two days later the coat would end up on the kitchen table. According to the Biella prosecutor’s office, Maldonatto would have used a hidden bunch of keys to break the seals and contaminate the evidence. The investigators suspect that the man used a screwdriver to try to kill his wife.
