David Raggi, 27, was killed last Thursday by 29-year-old Amine Assaoul, a Moroccan immigrant, outside a bar on Piazzetta dell’Olmo in the city of Terni, central Italy.
Assaoul, who was reportedly drunk at the time, allegedly attacked Raggi with a bottle, severing his carotid artery, following a scuffle with police. Raggi died minutes later in the arms of his friends.
Assaoul came to Italy via the island of Lampedusa in October last year, despite being expelled from the country in 2007.

Readers – note the second ‘a’ in Assaoul is aspirated and is pronounced more like a ‘h’.
