“I left the house and saw a group of people pointing to a man with a hat – adds the citizen of Civitanova -. They shouted at him “What have you done? You killed him “. I arrived a few meters away, I saw the attacker fidget in front of the accusations and throw a crutch at the parked cars, probably to frighten those present.

But I always remained a bit at a distance, trying to never let him see me “.
Civitanova murder: the attack and the victim
The witness’s account is detailed: “At a certain point I noticed that he diverted the path in via Duca degli Abruzzi that leads to the port and then immediately turned to the first possible junction, on the right (via Della Nave, ndr). It is at this point that, in Corso Umberto, the Police arrived and I indicated to the agents where the man had gone“. The citizen of Civitanova adds other details:” As he walked away, he didn’t seem particularly frightened and I didn’t think he had the feeling of being shaken. For him, it was as if he were taking a normal walk. Could it have been 2:20 pm If there was a girl with him? Honestly, I didn’t even notice her presence at all. “

You could not feel anything from his wrist. So we called for help. and followed their first instructions on the phone. I am not a doctor and clearly I cannot say if the Nigerian was dead or not. The boy who was by my side took the defibrillator which is located at the traffic light, then the police arrived and helped us. Around fifteen people who witnessed the scene, when they realized that it was not a simple quarrel, but an aggression that was too violent and risky, they all began to yelling at the man in the hat. It was all really heartbreaking. “
