‘He Apologised For killing him’ – Lawyer of Italian Who Murdered Nigerian Argues
Published by Borderless Media
Roberto Bizzari, the lawyer to Fillipo Ferlazzo, the Italian who beat Alika Ogorchukwu, a 39-year-old Nigerian to death on Friday, has presented new facts about the accused in an Italian court, indicating that his client suffers from bipolar disorder.
Bizzari further claimed in court that the fight between his client and the deceased was not racially motivated.
Ferlazzo was filmed on Friday fighting the Nigerian on a street in Civitanova Marche in central Italy.
Bizzari subsequently submitted a request for Ferlazzo’s psychiatric report to the court, insisting that his client had spent time in a local psychiatric hospital prior to the fight that led to Alika’s death.
Bizzari said that his client had apologised for his action, and that the beating that led to the death of the Nigerian was not racially motivated.
