A 65-year-old Italian,
Pierclaudio Raviola, originally from La Spezia, was killed while
being robbed by two men and a 16-year-old boy in a car park in
New Zealand last Thursday, sources said Monday. The three were
arrested. The Italian embassy In Wellington is providing
assistance to Raviola's family along with the foreign ministry.
The New Zealand Herald said the man, who settled in the country
some years ago, was set upon in a car park in Christchurch. A
policeman found him in serious condition due to deep head
wounds. Raviola, who was well known in La Spezia, where his
ex-wife lives, was taken to hospital and operated on, and then
put into a drug-induced coma, but died. The three accused of
murdering him appeared in court Monday.
