Italian news reports say the singer of a heavy metal band and her brother stabbed the band's guitarist dozens of times, apparently because he wasn't playing well.
The Genoa-based newspaper Il Secolo XIX is reporting that the 19-year-old singer, Cristina Balzano, and her 16-year-old brother have been arrested on charges of attempted murder.
The newspaper is quoting the victim, identified only as A.D., as saying from hospital that he was attacked late Saturday after a rehearsal with the band "Soul Cry." He said band members had been criticizing his playing but that he never expected to be physically hurt.
The daily has also quoted lawyers for Balzano as saying that she doesn't remember anything and that they had asked for a psychological evaluation.
