The alleged killer of Nigerian immigrant, Emmanuel Chidi has been arrested by Italian police. He was attacked on Tuesday afternoon in the central Italian town of Fermo.


Reports say that a local man racially insulted Mr Chidi's wife - this provoked an argument.  The local man then attacked the immigrant with a traffic pole. 

Mr Chidi died from his injuries a day later. The police have now arrested the suspected attacker - Amadeo Mancini - and charged him with racially motivated manslaughter. 

Emmanuel Chidi and his wife had been living in Italy since September 2015, after fleeing conflict in Nigeria.
