I want justice now.”The incident has caused outrage in Italy, which will hold snap elections on 25 September. A coalition led by Brothers of Italy and including Matteo Salvini’s far-right League and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia is tipped to win power.

Salvini and Meloni also denounced the killing and said they hoped the perpetrator would receive the maximum possible sentence.
