Thousands March in Rome, Milan after Killings of Chinese

 


Thousands of people marched through the streets of Rome and Milan on Tuesday demanding better public safety, after a Chinese man and his baby daughter were murdered brutally in the capital last week.
In Rome, the memorial march took place in the city's largest square Piazza Vittorio, and ended in the eastern area of Tor Pignattara, where the 31-year-old merchant, Zhou Zheng, was attacked by two muggers on Dec. 4 while he was returning home with his family.

Meanwhile, crowds of Chinese, Italians and other expatriates gathered in a central area of northern Italy's Milan, where they lit candles and mourned the destroyed family in the presence of local authorities.
The rapid escalation of violence experienced by many Chinese is causing increasing concerns.

"Recently our community has reported an increasing number of criminal robberies, also due to the economic worsening situation in the country and to the fact we are hard and pacific workers," said a Chinese woman, Silvia Xing, who herself was robbed and beaten by two muggers in her own bar in Milan.

Italian Shoots Chinese Baby in the Head

A Story from our Chinese neighbours in Italy.

 Zeng Zhou, 31, a Chinese immigrant, and his baby daughter, Joy, were killed by the same bullet when two thieves demanded the takings from the bar he ran in the capital's grimy Tor Pignattara district on Wednesday night.

The bullet passed through the baby's head and then struck her father in the heart, killing both of them instantly.
His 27-year-old wife, Zeng Lia, was stabbed in the attack and is being treated in hospital.

She told police that one of the gunmen had yelled "I'll kill you like a dog" at her husband when he refused to hand over thousands of Euros in cash.

The double murder was the 36th killing in the city in the past 12 months – up from 25 in 2010.
