The murder of Civitanova Marche, Alika's family: apologies are not enough, now justice

"Ferlazzo's apologies are not enough, now we only need justice and not revenge. It is difficult to understand what happened".

This is the comment of the family of Alika Ogorchukwu - the Nigerian peddler killed in Civitanova Marche - entrusted to the lawyer Francesco Mantella.

"If there is a psychiatric implication that is inserted in the causes of Alika's murder, it is necessary to reflect: if Ferlazzo had a support administrator, it seems that it was his mother, why was he not supervised? We will have to start a series of checks" .

Thus the lawyer Francesco Mantella, lawyer of the family of Alika Ogorchukwu, the Nigerian peddler killed in Civitanova Marche by Filippo Ferlazzo.

"We have full confidence in the work of the Macerata prosecutor", adds the lawyer.

Chased and struck with his bare hands in the center of Civitanova Marche, beaten and crushed to the ground for three or four minutes until death by his attacker, a 32-year-old worker - Fabrizio Ferlazzo, from Salerno - who tries to apologize from prison, after having lied about the circumstances of the beating at the time of arrest, and for which lawyers are considering whether to seek psychiatric expertise.

Apparently he has a small history and mental instability issues.

Thus the 39-year-old Nigerian street vendor Alika Ogorchukwuch was killed - a quiet man who had just obtained the renewal of his residence permit, limping from having suffered an investment - yesterday afternoon along Corso Umberto, without any passersby having lifted a finger. .

"Now I just want justice for my husband"

said crying Charity Oriachi, Alika's wife left alone with their eight-year-old child, during the protest of the Nigerian community gathered at the murder scene.

On Monday the detainee will appear in front of the investigating judge.

Against him the many images that take up the beating and the story of two tourists: 'the Nigerian citizen begged for alms then went away, he chased him, beat him with a stick and then with his bare hands'.

It is on the deafening indifference that together with the violence took Alika's life - the autopsy will establish whether he died of asphyxiation or suffocation, hypotheses emerged from the video surveillance images acquired by the police - which point the finger at the reactions to the heinous murder.

"The murder of #AlikaOgorchukwu leaves you dismayed. The unprecedented ferocity. The widespread indifference. There can be no justification. And silence is not enough either. The latest outrage to #Alika would be to pass over and forget", tweets the secretary of the Pd, Enrico Letta.

For Roberto Speranza, leader of Article 1, "indifference is as serious and unjustifiable as violence".

The killing of Alika Ogorchukwu "leaves us astonished", wrote the M5s leader Giuseppe Conte on Fb who asked "but all those present who have resumed the struggle with their smartphones without trying to intervene, what will they do?".

Antonio Tajani national coordinator of Fi expresses pain and condolences to Alika's family for an "event unrelated to the nature of Civitanova Marche, which has always been an open, peaceful and welcoming city".

"Painful. Jackal. So speaks an aspiring government leader. Chapeau. Happy anyway to have contributed with my tweet to get her to write a few words for that poor victim", rejoined Formigli.

For Matteo Salvini "You can't die like this. A prayer for Alika and a hug to his family, for the murderer, sure pain to the end. City in disarray, violence by day and night, we can't take it anymore: safety it has no color, security must go back to being a Right ".
