A 39-year-old woman was killed at her home in Camponogara, in the province of Venice, and her body was found there on the evening of Sunday 16 August 2026. Italian reporting describes the killing as a femicide and states that she was strangled. Her former partner, a 43-year-old man from the neighbouring town of Dolo, was found hanged at his own home the same evening. Investigators treat his death as suicide following the killing, and no proceedings against him are possible. The couple had separated, and the relationship had a documented history of violence. In April 2026 he had already attempted to strangle her; she reported him to the police with a medical certificate, and in June the Questore of Venice issued a formal warning against him. Investigators kept the detailed sequence of events confidential. The first autopsy findings, reported on 21 August 2026, confirmed that she was strangled: the hyoid bone of her neck was fractured, consistent with strong pressure applied to the throat. Later reporting also established that the man had been the subject of complaints by three other women with whom he had had relationships, in 2002, 2010 and 2024. Two of those complainants were hospitalised, with prognoses of twenty-five and ten days. All three complaints were withdrawn and the resulting proceedings were shelved. The woman killed in August 2026 was the only one of the four who did not withdraw her complaint.

- victim.age_range reset from 40-50 to unknown: the age of 43 that the intake heuristic used belongs to the suspect, who is named in the standfirst, not to the victim, for whom no age is reported. judicial_status changed from alleged to dismissed, as the suspect died by suicide immediately after the killing and no proceedings against him are possible. location_precision lowered from city to approximate_city.
- city corrected from "venezia" to "camponogara", the town in the province of Venice where the victim lived and where her body was found; coordinates moved to the Camponogara centroid and location_precision raised back from approximate_city to city. incident_date corrected from 2026-08-17, the article publication date, to 2026-08-16, the evening the two bodies were found. victim.age_range set to 30-40 from the reported age of 39. An ANSA report was added as a second source.
- follow-up reporting merged from GitHub issue #668 on 2026-08-22: the first autopsy findings confirm strangulation, and three earlier complaints against the same man by three other former partners are now reported. Two sources added; no field values changed.
