The victim of Tunisian origin, Roua Nabi, was stabbed in the chest by her 48-year-old former husband, Ben Alaya Abdelkader, another Tunisian citizen, during a fight, according to the sources.
She died shortly after being taken to the San Giovanni Bosco Hospital.
The couple’s teen daughter fled to a neighbour’s apartment to call for help while their 13-year-old son chased his father on the street, asking passersby to help him stop the man.
Carabinieri police later found the 48-year-old near his ex-wife’s apartment and arrested him.
The man is currently detained at Turin’s Lorusso e Cotugno prison.
Abdelkader had been wearing an electronic bracelet since this summer, when a judge had imposed a restraining order after he had abused his former partner, investigative sources said.
