    Nigerian Strangled To Death On The Street Of Italy Without Anyone Intervening

    A Nigerian has been strangled to death on the street of Italy without anyone intervening.

    The Italian police have now arrested the man who brutally beat the Nigerian vendor, Alika Ogorchukwu to death on a busy beach town on Friday.

    Alika is said to be physically challenged.

    The incident happened publicly while onlookers filmed how the aggressive man beat and strangled the physically-challenged Ogorchukwu to death without any apparent attempt to intervene.



    According to Washington Post, the video footage of the attack has circulated widely on Italian news websites and social media, attracting outrage as Italy enters a parliamentary election campaign in which the right-wing coalition has already made immigration an issue.

    “The murder of Alika Ogorchukwu is dismaying,’’ Enrico Letta, the head of the left-wing Democratic Party, wrote Saturday on Twitter, naming the vendor who died Friday. “Unheard of ferocity. Widespread indifference. There can be no justification.”



    Right-wing leader Matteo Salvini, who is making security a fundamental point of his campaign, also expressed outrage over the death, saying “security has no color and needs to return to being a right.”

    Reports revealed that Ogorchukwu, 39, was selling goods Friday on the main street of Civitanova Marche, a beach town on the Adriatic Sea, when his attacker grabbed his crutch and struck him down, according to police.


    The video showed the assailant wrestling the victim onto his back on the pavement as he fought back, eventually subduing him with the weight of his body.



    “The aggressor went after the victim, first hitting him with a crutch. He made him fall to the ground, then he finished, causing the death, hitting him repeatedly with his bare hands,’’ the town’s chief commissioner, Fabio Mazza, told a press conference.


    Police investigator Matteo Luconi told Italian news channel Sky TG24 that onlookers called police, who responded after the suspect had fled and attempted to administer aid to the victim.



    But, police used street cameras to track the assailant’s movements and detained a man identified as Filippo Claudio Giuseppe Ferlazzo, 32. He was being held on suspicion of murder and theft for allegedly taking the victim’s phone.

    Luconi told Sky TG24 the assailant got angry and aggressive following Ogorchukwu’s “insistent” requests for pocket change.



    Police were questioning witnesses and viewing videos of the attack. They said the suspect has made no statement.

    Ogorchukwu, who was married with two children, resorted to selling goods on the street after he was struck by a car and lost his job as a labourer due to his injuries, said Daniel Amanza, who runs the ACSIM association for immigrants in the Marche region’s Macerata province.



    Amanza gave a different version of what happened, saying the attacker became infuriated when Ogorchukwu told the man’s companion she was beautiful.

    “This compliment killed him,’’ Amanza told The Associated Press.

    “The tragic fact is that there were many people nearby. They filmed, saying ‘Stop,’ but no one moved to separate them,’’ Amanza said.
