The case is still
being investigated by Somerville Police and Massachusetts State Police
assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney's Office.

According
to information obtained through court records, new information
regarding the alleged stabbing, which occurred on December 27 — two
days after Christmas — has become available.

The stabbing took place at 11 Greenville Street, which is also that of AJ Savini Construction.

Kimberley
Savini used her cell phone to report the stabbing of her boyfriend,
Arnaldo Amado. He was initially treated at Somerville Hospital, and
then transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital. Amado was
pronounced dead, just prior to 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Savini's
alibi, that Amado, her boyfriend of four years, was stabbed outside the
apartment which they shared with their one-year-old son, backfired.

According
to Savini, who is currently unemployed, Amado was in Boston running
errands when the assault occurred, and therefore, she was unaware of
the specific details, including the location of the actual stabbing.

Amado sustained an abdominal stab wound.

After
having arrived on the scene, Detective Mario Oliveira noticed that
Savini appeared extremely nervous and stuttered while answering his
questions.

Other officers, as well as Somerville Fire and Cataldo Ambulance were on the scene.

What
tipped Detective Oliveira off to the identity of the individual who had
actually stabbed Amado? Officer Collette, an officer in one of the
first units on the scene, interviewed neighbors on the first and second
floor of the residence. According to residents, a loud argument had
occurred.

When finally put on the spot, regarding who had
stabbed Amado, Savini "placed her hands on her head and began to
hyperventilate." Then, Savini alledgely admitted to Detective Oliveira
that "Yes, I stabbed him, but he attacked me first."

After Savini's interview with Detective Oliveira, Savini was arrested on one count of murder.

Savini
elaborated on the actual events, leading up to her stabbing Amado..
According to her, Amado consumed copious amounts of alcohol on a
regular basis. Saturday was no exception.

An argument,
complete with a shoving match, commenced regarding Amado's drinking
problem. Savini commanded Amado to vacate their apartment. Amado and
Savini continued to rgue in the hallway, where, according to Savini,
Amado charged at her.

Therefore, Savini rushed into the
kitchen to get the knife, which rested atop the stove. Knife swinging
around in the air, Savini again ordered Amado to leave.

Upon
Amado's failure to comply with her request, Savini drove the knife into
the left side of his chest, after which, he sank to the floor. At that
point, Savini called 911. Then, she cleaned the knife in the kitchen
sink.

When asked to produce the weapon, Savini surrendered the knife to Officer Collette.

After
the arrest, Savini's parents, Anthony and Carol Savini, arrived to
collect the couple's child. The Department of Social Services (DSS) is
currently involved. A 51A report will be filed. According to Savini,
she lied to police at the outset of the investigation in order to
prevent the loss of the child.

Savini's lawyer is Maria Curtatone. She is Mayor Joseph Curtatone's sister.

The prosecutor assigned to this case is Marian Ryan, Assistant District Attorney.

"The
defendant [Kim Savini] is charged with first degree murder which, if
convicted, carries with it a mandatory sentence of life in prison
without eligibility for parole," said Corey Welford, spokesman for
Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone.

More information about this case will be available after January 27, the date for which a status hearing is set.
